Stay safe out there, my dudes
If you need to keep track of fires the Watch Duty app is great.
Free to use, run by a nonprofit.
Thank you
Ah, US… where even running away from a fire is dependent of having money.
Those insurance fucks already were recently like. We’re going to cancel your home insurance, since the area you now live in is too likely to get hit.

NJ Forest Fire Service refuses to use anything except Nazitter and Sovietbook.
Hopefully I burn quickly when the time comes.
Most of the Mexican government uses Twitter almost exclusively and most media only have access to their news via their websites (no RSS/Atom). There’s no clear way to fight this as there are no clear laws about access to publicly funded content 😐
So in events like this, most people have to rely on conversations and the governemnt presence because you can’t find information easily.
Don’t know if it’s because I looked up the claim on that tweet outside of the US or because I used DDG instead of Google but I searched “la fire evacuation map”, deliberately clicked on the first result (a Fox subsidiary site, mind you) and was able to get to this non-paywalled gov site through the first few paragraphs? https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2025/1/7/palisades-fire
Could be dishonest opportunistic propaganda from this guy, could be I somehow managed to avoid the paywall shite, don’t know.
Everyone that lives in California (and thus the evac zone) would know to check CalFire (ie, www.fire.ca.gov) for any wildfire maps before looking at any other source because it would be the most accurate and most up to date.
Wildfires are such a common thing (car off the side of the state/interstate hwy, brush fire set off by a homeless encampment in public land, massive forest fire, etc - all would be on CalFire; for a local building fire you would have to check local authorities). We all know if we see smoke to check CalFire to get the details and if it’s heading our way. It even shows things happening in Mexico and nearby states in case it’s heading towards us.

This, or someone completely unfamiliar with California
