Camp Fire
One of our deputies took this picture. The smoke plume for the #CampFire is massive and foreboding. #buttecounty #wildfire #paradiseca pic.twitter.com/pjiBBE8z71

These abandoned and burned out cars shows you what a panic it must have been for residents trying to escape the Camp Fire. Unreal scenes in Paradise, CA, this morning. #CampFire pic.twitter.com/AhBuWzS0Tx

As I was getting into Paradise this morning I came across a firefighter who found an injured cat. He was holding tightly onto the cat while animal control arrived. #CampFire @abc7newsbayarea #abc7now pic.twitter.com/qtX7tWpAcM

This was me and my family escaping Paradise yesterday. We were so close to the flames that I could feel the heat through the car. Fortunately me and my family made it out alive. Sadly my house and the town I was born and raise in is gone. I can't believe this happened. #CampFire pic.twitter.com/MbXNLca0HN

Scariest drive of my life! Driving into #HillFire minutes before they shut down the 101. Fire jumped freeway. Absolutely #apocalyptic pic.twitter.com/gLDCAA89Gx

The 10,000-acre #HillFire is being driven south/southwest by 25-35 mph winds. Capt. Ziegler said fire conditions today are identical to those during the 2013 Camarillo Spring fire. There's no telling where they'll stop it. He said it wouldn't surprise him if it burned to the sea. pic.twitter.com/s5XAfvrXr6
