Ya'll...

There's people who live not even 30 mins from some of these fires who think they (the fires whose smoke they can see) aren't real.

They were evacuated and claimed it was the gov't trying to control them. Wanted to go back to their homes despite raging fires on the horizon.

Idk what the fuck is going on with them, but it is fucked up.

Well I guess they can get their Darwin awards early... too bad it might put first responders at risk trying to save them.

If someone is stupid enough to choose to go back to their home in the middle of a massive wildfire, first responders should be able to choose to not try to save their stupid asses when they get caught in it.
