  1. Last lines quoted said those responsible for starting the fire can be held financially and legally liable.

    For billions in damages and tens of thousands of ruined lives.

    Ya right.

    Maybe if it was started by Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg.

    1. Depending how close the fireworks are close to the tree and if the fireworks hit the tree or the ash that falls down from the air if it was not windy it could fall on the tree and catch on fire or the blast from the ground fireworks

    1. @crazyeyes420 you haven’t realized Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin yet? Hopefully you’re a child.

  2. Fireworks??? In California, at this time of the year, just after major fire disasters all over California???

    1. If I was that future kid, I’d be strutting that down the hallway in polyester pants and velour shirt unbuttoned to the navel. What’s covering my strutting feet I’ll leave up to your imagination.

  4. LOOK AT POINT 1:08 on the video. YOU HAVE PLACED ADS FOR FUTURE VIDEOS ***OVER*** your “NEWS.” I will watch antoher channel. What Sloppy Work!
