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.
