Wildfire Devastates Area Still Rebuilding From Last Year's
Blazes</a></font></b><br>
<font size="-1">Lake County's Clayton Fire is only five percent
contained....The blaze comes just as the county had started to
rebuild from last year's calamitous fire season. ...Lake County,
California is ablaze again. A wildfire erupted there on Saturday
night, and has already burned 4,000 acres and is only 5 percent
contained. The cause of the fire remains unknown....Three major
fires—the Valley Fire, the Rocky Fire, and the Jerusalum Fire—<b>took
out thousands of buildings and over 170,000 acres in 2015</b>.
The Valley Fire, the largest of the three, destroyed nearly 2,000
buildings itself, and killed four people.</font><br>

committed fraud in its public statements about climate
