Fugate on Calif. Wildfires: ‘Once Homes Catch Fire, They Become Blowtorches for All the Homes Around Them’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FUGATE: "In many cases, all you can do is evacuate. Once the winds are blowing at hurricane force and you have all of the spotting from the embers, in many cases, once those homes become ignited, it’s really not much you can do. So part of what they try to do is get on the edges of the fire, try to get to where the embers are going, and extinguish them quickly. But quite honestly, when you have those winds and these drought conditions, once homes catch fire, they become blowtorches for all the homes around them."
