This is one of the first updates CNN's social network site had released on November 10th, 2018. In this shocking update, the headline announces the death count raises to 9 due to the flames. CNN states that the  town of Paradise of 26,000 people located in Butte County, California, has been burned to the ground by Camp Fire, avoiding most of the town's trees which the Mayor states is a good thing. Also in Malibu, a city with a population of 12,000, filled with luxurious beach houses with celebrities and millionaires residing-- had been threatened by the Woosley fire, and were issued a mandatory evacuation.  Santa Ana winds are said to a main cause to the rapid spread of the fire. Santa Ana winds are strong, extremely dry downslope winds affecting the valleys of California. Low humidities, combined with the heated compressed air, plus high wind speeds, result in critical fire weather conditions that are nearly impossible to contain. CNN's TV broadcasting and social network site provides frequent updates for this ongoing tragic event, and remains straight to the point in their posts, with multiple statements and videos from those affected. This event is saddening and is not treated with any insensitivity from CNN.

CNN  —

One of three major wildfires roaring though California has burned its way into state history as the most destructive blaze on record in terms of structure loss, with more than 6,700 structures gone in two days, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire-fighting agency.

The large Camp Fire in Northern California, which obliterated 80% to 90% of the homes in one town, has left at least nine people dead, officials said Friday. Kory Honea, the Butte County sheriff, said 35 people have been reported missing in the Camp Fire.

The fast-moving wildfires in the state have destroyed thousands of structures and prompted thousands of residents to flee, sometimes through jam-packed flame-lined streets that forced evacuees to chose whether to try to drive to safety or to get out and run.

The Camp Fire left the mayor of Paradise, population 26,000, in shock.

“There’s really not much left. There are very few homes still standing and we’ve been in multiple different neighborhoods this afternoon,” Mayor Jody Jones said. She estimated only 10 to 20% of homes are left.

Four people were found dead in vehicles that were overcome by flames and one body was discovered near the vehicles, the Butte County Sheriff’s Office said. The other victims were found near or inside homes that burned.

Two major fires in Southern California are just miles from the bar where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, and evacuations were ordered for nearby Malibu, a seaside city popular with celebrities.

Authorities have received reports of two fatalities in the city of Malibu, and the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s office said it was working to confirm whether they are related to the wildfires.

Fanned by high winds and fueled by low humidity and dry vegetation, the fires spread rapidly Thursday and overnight into Friday. The threat continued Friday, with millions of Californians under “red flag” warnings portending windy arid and warm conditions that pose extreme fire risks.

Here’s what we know about the trio of fires:

In Northern California, panicked residents began fleeing Paradise on Thursday as the Camp Fire swept through it.

By Friday morning, the town’s main road was littered with downed trees and power lines. Much of the brush and grasses were blackened along the valleys, and many trees were still burning, a CNN crew there observed.

A family that evacuated Thursday by driving along flame-lined roads posted a startling video to Facebook. The recording shows fire claiming houses and trees, and sparks blowing across the road in front of them. Suddenly the vehicle breaks through a wall of smoke and emerges into the safety of a clear road.

Jones, the mayor, said a good portion of the business district is gone. And while some trees were torched, Jones said most of them remain.

“One of the things that’s beautiful about Paradise are the trees and they’re still here. … I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s a good thing,” Jones said.

At least 52,000 residents were forced to evacuate from Butte County as the fire burned 90,000 acres.

Flames also were on the outer edges of Chico, a city of 93,000 people about a 90-mile drive north of Sacramento.

The full extent of the destruction in the county was still unknown, but authorities said more than 6,700 buildings have been destroyed – many of those in Paradise.

Whitney Vaughan described a scene of panic and terror as she recalled her narrow escape from her Paradise home Thursday morning.

Vaughan and her husband had just fled their home as flames rushed them. She saw a man “sprinting past our house carrying a little baby, running as fast as he could.”

They drove away but got eventually got caught in traffic. Flames were feet away, smoke was thick, cars weren’t moving and people were panicking. Some people left their cars there “and took off running, carrying their babies and kids.”

She cried as she recorded video of the terrifying scene, which she posted to Facebook. She and her husband eventually were able to drive away safely.

“We thought the fire was going to kill us,” she told CNN.

Paradise, roughly 80 miles north of Sacramento, is where four people were found dead in different vehicles and one person was found dead near a vehicle on the road where Vaughn recorded her video. The other four deceased victims were also found in the Paradise area.

Five people had to be rescued by helicopter from the fire according to Josh Bischof, Riverside Fire Battalion Chief. The rescues were performed by firefighters who were actively engaged in fire-fighting, Bischof said.

Flames burn inside a van as the Camp Fire tears through Paradise on November 8.

The blaze burned Western Town at Paramount Ranch, according to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service. The buildings were seen in movies and television series such as “Westworld” and “The Cisco Kid.”

Three firefighters and some civilians were injured, Cal Fire officials said. The extent of their injuries was unknown.

More than 3,200 firefighters were battling the flames and the fire remained just 5% contained, according to Cal Fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation

In Southern California, strong Santa Ana winds were fanning two fires, including the Woolsey Fire, which by Friday morning had burned across US 101 and was heading toward Malibu.

The Woolsey Fire exploded from 2,000 acres to 8,000 in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in a matter of hours. Friday evening, officials said it had grown to 35,000 acres.

At least 75,000 homes in Ventura and Los Angeles counties were under evacuation orders, and some structures have already been destroyed, officials said.

The fire crossed US 101 a few miles east of Thousand Oaks – the site of Wednesday night’s bar shooting – and was headed south to the Pacific coast, in the direction of Malibu Creek State Park and Malibu city, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.

And in part of Malibu itself – a city of about 12,000 people known for beachside homes owned by celebrities and millionaires – a mandatory evacuation was issued Friday.

In Malibu, journalist Julie Ellerton said she was calmly packing Friday morning after staying up all night.

Ellerton, in an email to CNN, said it was strange to go from covering events related to Wednesday’s shooting “to looking up in the afternoon and seeing plumes of smoke.”

“My heart’s still with those suffering the loss of their children, their husband and their dad. I can’t think anything matters more – packing ‘items’ seems strange. The smoke just seems surreal,” she wrote.

In Hidden Hills, just north of Calabasas, Adrienne Janic gave her home over to firefighters late Thursday to use as a command center. Her deck provided a strong vantage point to monitor the spread of the fire.

By 1 a.m. (4 a.m. ET), more firefighters arrived as the flames closed in on Janic’s street

“While a lot of my yard and neighbors’ yards burned, the firefighters saved our homes,” Janic tweeted just after 2 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Friday. “We are still not out of the woods yet.”

Christy Dawn Little abandoned her Oak Park home, northeast of Thousand Oaks, around 11 p.m. (2 a.m. ET).

“I had to work this evening, and ran out when I realized how close it was,” Little told CNN. “We have found a safe hotel … (in) Los Angeles.”

Video of her drive out of town shows the fire emitting an orange-red glow in the distance in the nighttime sky.

The Hill Fire is the other fire burning near the site of this week’s mass shooting in Thousand Oaks.

The fire started Thursday afternoon and spread quickly to cover about 6,000 acres, fire officials said. Friday, part of it was burning into the footprint of a 2013 wildfire, which could slow its spread, Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said. The Hill Fire was 15% contained by Friday evening, at 4,531 acres.

Residents on social media posted their views of the flames nearly consuming the hillside in the Newbury Park area of western Thousand Oaks.

While no homes or businesses have been lost to the fast-moving blaze, a number of RVs and outbuildings have been burned and a firefighter suffered a minor injury, authorities said.

Howling Santa Ana winds were driving the Woolsey and Hill fires. The Santa Anas are strong, dry winds that high-pressure systems push from east to west, from the mountains and desert areas down into the Los Angeles area.

Wind gusts of up to 77 mph were reported in Los Angeles County on Friday morning.

A round of Santa Ana winds is forecast to whip the area Sunday through Tuesday, though it may be weaker than Friday’s.

CNN’s Hollie Silverman, Emanuella Grinberg, Nick Valencia, Judson Jones, Dakin Andone, Tristan Smith, Cheri Mossburg, Amanda Watts, Joe Sutton, Gianluca Mezzofiore, Stella Chan, Amanda Jackson, Christina Zdanowicz and Jennifer Selva contributed to this report.

California wildfire wipes out much of one town, kills 9 | CNN

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
One of three major wildfires roaring though California has burned its way into state history as the most destructive blaze on record in terms of structure loss, with more than 6,700 structures gone in two days, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire-fighting agency.

# data[].attributes.body
This article is posted by abc News on their social network site. This is another update on the wildfires and how fast the flames are spreading. The article states "The fire grew over 10 times in size from Friday morning -- when it was just 8,000 acres -- to Saturday evening. It grew 2.5 times larger in just 24 hours Saturday." (Osborne, abc News, 2018). These are terrifying numbers. The article also states that predictions are the fire is only going to get worse into the following week. The fire was only 15% contained on Sunday evening with over 800 firefighting personnel working around the clock to try and calm the flames. This quick progression of the wildfire is hard to watch, but hopefully with the exposure from news social media sites encourage the public to donate to the people in need.

A pair of rapidly intensifying wildfires in Ventura County, California, are forcing thousands of evacuations and already burning structures.

The Woolsey Fire, the blaze currently causing the most concern for firefighters, was up to 7,500 acres around 1:30 a.m. local time, according to the Ventura County Fire Department. The department said 30,000 people had been evacuated in the area and as many as 30,000 homes were threatened. The fire was zero percent contained.

Ventura County Fire Department clarified on Twitter that Los Robles Hospital was not being evacuated.

Ventura County Fire Department

A specific number of buildings destroyed was unclear, but Ventura County Fire Department said "multiple structures" were now burned to the ground.

There were no reports of fatalities or severe injuries.

Over 400 personnel were working on the fire early Friday morning.

The challenging fire conditions are expected to continue Friday in Southern California where wind alerts and red flag warnings have been issued and wind gusts could reach 70 mph and relative humidity could be as low as 2 percent.

The Woolsey Fire was burning northeast of Thousand Oaks, not far from where a shooting killed 12 people late Wednesday night.

The Los Angeles Police Department also issued a citywide tactical alert for the fire, allowing its units to assist in handling the fire.

The LAPD is now on a city-wide Tactical Alert to ensure any/all resources are available to assist w/ any evacuation orders & road closures regarding the #WoolseyFire. If you're in an effected area & have been ordered to evacuate, evacuate. Refer to @LAFD for up-to-date info. https://t.co/rn5dV11zdv
- LAPD HQ (@LAPDHQ) November 9, 2018

In addition to the Woolsey Fire, the Hill Fire was burning northwest of Thousand Oaks in the Santa Rosa Valley. The fire grew to 10,000 acres on Thursday, and forced the mandatory evacuations of several areas.

The Point Mugu Naval Base was evacuated, as well as the towns of Camarillo Springs and Dos Vientos.

"As a precaution and to facilitate a safe and orderly response to the Hill Canyon Fire, the NBVC Commanding Officer has issued a MANDATORY EVACUATION order for NBVC Point Mugu," the base sent out in a press release.

While the two fires raged in Southern California, the Camp Fire in Northern California laid waste to the city of Paradise overnight. Tens of thousands had fled the city, just east of Chico, where officials said thousands of buildings had been burnt to the ground.

A pair of rapidly intensifying wildfires in Ventura County, California, are forcing thousands of evacuations and already burning structures. The Woolsey Fire, the blaze currently causing the most concern for firefighters, was up to 7,500 acres around 1:30 a.m. local time, according to the Ventura...

This is a really unfortunate article released by the social network site People.com about a woman named Deseriee Edman. Edman survived the shooting attack in Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California where 12 people were shot and killed just a day before the wildfires started. Less than 24 hours later, her neighborhood in Malibu was ordered to emergency evacuate the area due to the fire spreading. Unfortunately, her house and belongings had been burned by the Woolsey fire. Edman is thankful that her and her family have made it out of the fires safely and alive. This is really bad luck if I've ever seen it, and I wish her and the victims faith and strength.

This is a post that proves that not even the upper class can be so lucky to avoid natural disasters. This is an Instagram post made from Liam Hemsworth who lived in Malibu, California, was a victim of the Woosley wildfire and unfortunately had his house and belongings engulfed in flames. His condolences go out to all the victims and sends his thanks to the firefighters for their efforts. Miley Cyrus, a well known actress and singer who is also married to Hemsworth posted a photo of her burned home and encourages donations to the "Malibu Foundation" to go towards the city and it's victims. This post really grounded the famous actors and showed the city that even the rich and famous are suffering.

Trump blames the wildfires on the fact that California's forest management is "poor". He also claims he will cut federal payments to the town's for forestry management if changes aren't made. My initial reaction to this tweet was I thought it was incentive and poorly timed for him to release this statement to the public. Many firefighters have been risking their lives trying to save people and prevent the fire from spreading and Trump does not acknowledge that in this tweet. This leaves a handful of people feeling insulted by his words. However, many people came to Trump's defense saying that the town of Paradise was warned about their dry vegetation and is responsible for the fire starting, and spreading so quickly.

Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot.

It's a new opportunity for inmates. Inmates without history of sexual harassment, kidnapping, gang affiliation, or life sentences that also pass a physical examination are able to train and join the firefighting personnel and help save lives for just $2 a day, and an additional $1 for every hour spent against an active fire. The article also states "An inmate also earns extra time off of their sentence for good behavior, typically two days off for each day served." (Goodkind, newsweek, 2018) This is a rare opportunity for the inmates that involves working outdoors away from their facility, and access to better quality food while working. However, inmates are not entitled to the same safety rights as someone not in prison, and their wages are very low. I think this is brave of the inmates and shows that some criminals do have sympathy, and are willing to help vulnerable people.

As California firefighters work to contain the largest wildfire in state history, they find themselves working their 24-hour shifts alongside a group of unlikely partners: 3,400 inmates from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The groups work in unison, but while salaried California firefighters earn an annual mean wage of $74,000 plus benefits, inmates earn just $2 per day with an additional $1 per hour when fighting an active fire.

Inmates without histories of arson, sexual crimes, kidnapping, gang-affiliation, escape attempts or facing a life sentence are allowed to volunteer for the firefighting program and are trained for two weeks in fire safety and field conditions before taking a physical exam. Once the exam is passed, prisoners are sent to live in one of 43 low-security field camps throughout the state. Juvenile delinquents are also eligible for the program, at least 58 youth offenders are currently fighting active wildfires.

"In an active fire, Cal Fire makes the determination for all crews based on the conditions, and the safety and security of all firefighters. In other words, inmate firefighters are not treated differently in the work they perform at the camps," Vicky Waters, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told Newsweek onTuesday. "I just want to emphasize that we absolutely recognize the incredible job these firefighters are doing, particularly when lives and properties are at stake."

An inmate also earns extra time off of their sentence for good behavior, typically two days off for each day served. These low-cost firefighters save California an estimated $80 million a year.

"Look, the biggest, most important thing is putting out the fires," Lisa Graybill, Deputy Legal Director at Southern Poverty Law Center told Newsweek. "And in my experience, prisoners are so eager for the chance to work and chance to demonstrate their rehabilitation that they'll accept any work conditions. But they shouldn't be exploited by the state. They're putting their lives on the line like other California firefighters, and they should be paid fairly for a fair day's work."

After years of training and fighting fires, said Graybill, an inmate who is released is typically unable to put their skills to work upon release. Nearly all firefighters in California are required to be licensed emergency medical technicians, but convicted felons are typically barred from receiving said licenses. Additionally, families of fallen inmate firefighters like 22-year-old Shawna Lynn Jones, who died fighting a blaze in 2016, don't receive compensation the way a normal firefighter's family would.

"Many people who are incarcerated have families on the outside who are relying on them to come home and be their breadwinner again. If anything does happen to them, will there be provision for their families and will they be taken care of in any way?" asked Graybill.

Inmates do recognize that there are perks to the job. Their outdoor camps allow for more freedom. The food is better and grown in on-site gardens. Families are allowed to use barbecue pits for their visits and can often spend the night in nearby cabins.

Still, "the pay is ridiculous,'' inmate La'Sonya Edwards, told The New York Times. ''There are some days we are worn down to the core,'' she said. ''And this isn't that different from slave conditions. We need to get paid more for what we do.''

"These are very dangerous jobs," Jordan Barab, former deputy assistant secretary of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told Newsweek. "Anytime you see prisoners doing work, they don't have the same kind of job security or right to complain about unsafe conditions. They can't quit or go work for different jobs. They either do the job as they're told to do it or they go back to regular prison. This is a captive group of workers being asked to put their lives on the line."

It's a tricky road to navigate, said Graybill. "The danger for litigators like me is if we sue, the state could stop this program and that would be terrible because people want this opportunity."

But if prisoners are being trusted to put out fires, save lives, and handle potentially dangerous weapons like axes and chainsaws with minimal oversight, "maybe they didn't need to be in prison in the first place," said David Fathi, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project.

This a Youtube video created by a channel named Bloomberg Technology. The video talks about the smoke produced by the fire, and how it is spreading over the San Fransisco Bay Area, polluting the breathing air. It is said that winds aren't that strong over the Bay Area and that once the smoke is blown away, the air is congested again by the resilient Camp Fire's smoke that is still continually clouding up the sky. It is mentioned that everyone in the area needs to wear a mask over their mouths to avoid breathing in the smoke. Schools and work places and (including Google headquarters) are closed and people are encouraged to stay home as much as possible to avoid breathing excess smoke. These types of broadcasts bring awareness to the locals and remind residents to be cautious of air exposure.

How the California Wildfires Are Impacting the Bay Area

Trump puts his initial  thoughts aside when he visits the town of Paradise, California which was almost entirely burned to the ground. Trump quotes "Right now, we want to take care of the people who have been so badly hurt" and expresses his sympathy to the Mayor and government officials in Paradise. However, when questioned by the media his opinion on the state of the forests, Trump stands true to his beliefs being that California became too overgrown with dangerous fuels is was poorly managed, and that simply raking the ground could prevent such tragedies. Too soon if you ask me.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PARADISE, Butte County - President Trump made a rare visit to smoke-choked California on Saturday, joining Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom to tour what he called the "really, really bad" devastation of the Camp Fire and pledging to help with the still-unfolding disaster.

Word that Trump was coming to the deep-blue state had initially touched off anxieties among both residents and the Democratic leadership, a tension heightened by the president's recent claims that California's "poor" forest management was to blame for the deadly fire.

But even as Trump continued to plug his case about shoddy forestry, while downplaying the role of climate change in the wildfire season, he and the state's top executives appeared to put aside their differences during their two hours together in hard-hit Butte County. At least 76 people have died in the Camp Fire, and that number may grow.

"Right now, we want to take care of the people who have been so badly hurt," Trump said during a stop at the burned-out Skyway Villa Mobile Home and RV Park in Paradise. "This is very sad to see. As far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet."

Melted cars and the charred debris of a neighborhood surrounded Trump as his black windbreaker and a "USA" baseball cap helped fend off blowing ash. Brown, Newsom, Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Brock Long and Paradise Mayor Jody Jones walked alongside the president. Conversation was light in the community that remains under evacuation. But at one point Trump gave Brown a pat on the back.

"Jerry and I have been speaking, and Gavin and I have now gotten to know each other," he said. "We're all going to work together."

Since Trump's criticism of California's forest policy last weekend, the president has focused more on the work of fire crews and the losses of residents, expressing support. But when questioned by reporters about his remarks on the state's forests, he didn't back down on his contention that land managers had let California become too overgrown with dangerous fuels.

"We do have to do management, maintenance," he said. "We've got to take care of the floors, you know the floors of the forest, it's very important."

In a new twist on the debate, Trump added that the "forest nation" of Finland could serve as an example: "They spend a lot of time raking and cleaning and doing things, and they don't have any problem."

The president arrived in California on Air Force One, which touched down at Beale Air Force Base north of Sacramento amid hazy skies shortly before 10 a.m. GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield and Butte County Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa were also aboard. A Marine helicopter was waiting to take Trump to the fire area.

A motorcade ferried the president from the Chico Municipal Airport to Paradise on a route lined by hundreds of onlookers, about half wearing masks to protect themselves from the smoky air. There were also several protesters.

The Camp Fire, which began Nov. 8, has raged across more than 149,000 acres, almost completely wiping out Paradise, a foothill town of 27,000, as well as surrounding communities. More than 12,700 buildings have been leveled.

Recent strains between the president and Brown, with Newsom joining the fray, began just days after the fire's ignition when the president tweeted that such blazes could be avoided if the state managed its forests better. He threatened to withhold funding for California if the situation isn't fixed.

The tweet drew a widespread backlash, including from Brown and Newsom, complaining of its insensitivity as well as its misinformed premise.

Many of California's recent wildfires did not burn in forests, but in grasslands and oak-filled prairie. Also, much of California's forest land is managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

Fire experts, as well as the governor, have underscored that hotter, drier conditions, attributed to climate change, have been the biggest factor in causing the increasingly intense burns.

Trump also visited the fire's incident command center in Chico, where he told reporters he had not changed his position that climate change is not the problem.

"No, no," Trump said. "I want to have a great climate, and I think we're going to have forests that are really safe."

Brown remained mostly quiet on the issue during a meeting of firefighters at the command center. He thanked the president for his support but said he had the situation under control.

"What needs to be done is what's being done," Brown said earlier in the day.

Chico resident and Paradise native Eric Danielli, like many in Butte County, had conflicted feelings about Trump's visit.

The owner of the popular breakfast spot Café Coda, whose father lost his home, doesn't see eye to eye with Trump politically and he was especially angered that the president used the fire to take shots at California forest policy. But he believed that the nation's chief executive should see the extent of the calamity.

"I wish the president would have chosen his words more wisely, but this is what he should be doing," Danielli said.

Paradise residents Fred Bowerman, 56, and his fiancee, Tami Wright, were more excited about the president's appearance. The couple stood outside the evacuation area in Chico waving a "Make America Great Again" flag, one of the few items they had with them after losing their home and belongings in the fire.

"I'd just like to give him a fist bump," Bowerman said, "and tell him to keep doing what he's doing."

Trump's visit to California was just his second trip to the Golden State during his presidency. In March, he toured the border with Mexico in promotion of his proposed wall.

After concluding his tour of Butte County at around 1 p.m., the president flew to Southern California, where he examined damage from the Woolsey Fire and met with families of the victims in this month's Thousand Oaks shooting.

This is a list of celebrities and organizations who have decided to help out to the people in need. Many have donated money to the American Red Cross, to the firefighters and families in need, humane societies, and the community neighborhoods to help rebuild their communities. It's important people come together during these ruinous weeks the state is going through. It's encouraging to see so many wealthy people/companies such as Facebook and Disney offering to help the victims affected.

The California wildfires have displaced more than 300,000 people since they started burning on Nov. 8. Among the people left without homes are the many celebrities who call The Golden State home.

The devastation of the blazes has inspired some stars to help out in a number of ways. Famous people such as Ellen DeGeneres and Miley Cyrus have donated money to aid in the efforts of helping anyone affected by the fires.Some A-listers are even pitching in to serve firefighters food and help families reconnect with each other through their platforms on social media.

Several notable businesses have given money to the cause as well. Here are some celebrities and major companies that have worked to make this terrible circumstance more manageable for all those involved:

Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth

Miley Cyrus lost her house in one of the wildfires. A representative for The Malibu Foundation told CNN that she and boyfriend Liam Hemsworth donated $500,000 through Cyrus' Happy Hippie Foundation. The representative said the funds will be used for "those in financial need, emergency relief assistance, community rebuilding, wildfire prevention and climate change resilience," according to CNN.

Sandra Bullock

The Oscar-winning actress reportedly donated a total of $500,000 to aid all those affected. She gave $100,000 to the Humane Society, to help displaced animals, and $400,000 to the American Red Cross. According to People magazine, Bullock also offered the American Red Cross this moving statement:

"The untold destruction from these fires is heartbreaking, especially following the tragedy at Borderline in Thousand Oaks. I'm glad to be able to help. We're all family in this, whether it be human, furry or feathered."

Ellen DeGeneres

DeGeneres teamed up with Walmart to donate $100,000 to the firefighters who are working tirelessly to contain the wildfires. She made the announcement on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," as you can see in this clip from the show's YouTube channel:

Dave Grohl

Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl passed out barbecue to firefighters who were working to put out the wildfires. Fire Station 68 in Calabasas posted to Instagram about the kind deed and the "excellent" food:

Guy Fieri

Grohl isn't the only star who had the idea to help feed firefighters! Celebrity chef Guy Fieri also helped keep firefighters from going hungry while on the job. The Butte County Sheriff Department tweeted about Fieri's ability to "[fill their] bellies and [lift their] spirits":

Guy Fieri made a surprise visit to serve dinner to everyone at the law enforcement staging area at Butte College. Thank you so much Guy for filling our bellies and lifting our spirits. #ButteSheriff #CampFire pic.twitter.com/ZnhNxOa81n

Khloe Kardashian

On Instagram, Khloe Kardashian documented a trip to CVS in which she bought water and granola bars for firefighters and first responders. She reportedly said in the video:

"Here at CVS, I basically got everything they had in stock. I got as many waters as I could. I know the brave men and women working so hard, tirelessly for all of us will greatly appreciate it. So please just do whatever you can, even if it's one bottle of water, one container of eye drops, one granola bar, anything. I know they would appreciate it," she said.

Her mom, Kris Jenner, posted about her daughter's good deed to her own Instagram:

Gerard Butler

Butler lost his home in one of the wildfires and it inspired him to encourage others to donate to a GoFundMe page set up to help people impacted across the state. He posted about the donation drive on Twitter:

2/2 I am ok and so grateful for all of the well wishes. Please turn your support to those who need it most here, and throughout California. There's a Go Fund Me to help people across the state affected by the fires. Please join me if you can. https://t.co/ghkHkoZqUw

- Gerard Butler (@GerardButler) November 12, 2018

James Woods

The "Hercules" actor has turned his Twitter account into a way of helping families reconnect. He's posting updates about lost family members to help those who were separated while evacuating get in touch.

Disney

In addition to celebs, several major companies that are based in California have made generous donations to the wildfire relief efforts. Among them was Disney, which released a statement announcing it had donated $500,000 to help firefighters.

"The firefighters are true heroes, and we honor their tireless commitment as they continue to battle these devastating wildfires," Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger said in the statement. "Our hearts go out to the families and communities that have been so severely affected."

Facebook

Facebook reportedly announced it was donating $250,000 to the American Red Cross and matching up to an additional $500,000 in donations made through the social media platform, according to the New York Post.

It's inspiring to see so many people coming together in this time of need. If you'd like to donate or help in any way, here is some information on how to help those affected by the California wildfires.

The Malibu Foundation was launched by known members of the community, including Miley Cyrus and Trevor Neilson. The site has 3 catagories to donate too: emergency relief and assistance to people who require financial need in areas impacted by the Woolsey Fire, Community Rebuilding, and Wildfire Prevention and Climate Change Resilience. This organization is  thoughtful and is going to help a lot of people in need and hopefully prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. The people who launched this website set up a platform for donations for the people and I think it's really important and necessary.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Malibu Foundation has three primary program areas.1. Emergency relief assistance to people who have demonstrated financial need in areas impacted by the Woolsey Fire including Agoura Hills, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, Westlake Village, West Hills, Hidden Hills, Monte Nido, Malibu and other areas.2.
