The Landlady’s Loose LegsCalifornia fire season should be winding down by autumn, but it's alive and well. The Camp Fire largely turned Paradise -- a town of over 26,000 -- to ash while burning fleeing victims alive in their cars. On the other side of the state, in palm tree-laden Malibu, the city posted an urgent, ominous message on Nov. 9 as the Woosley Fire approached:
"Fire is burning out of control, heading into populated areas of Malibu. All residents evacuate now."
These late-season fall fires -- stoked by weather but enhanced by global warming -- have taken at least 23 lives. Below are three reputable, vetted ways to help those who have fled or are combating the nation's latest environmental catastrophe.

Presently there are several listed charities, which include: Global Giving, Matthew 25: Ministries, Direct Relief, American Red Cross, Islamic Relief USA, and Feeding America.
