I happened to notice on my walk the other day some burned out cars being loaded onto a flatbed truck.<\/p>\n

I got to thinking about how many cars were destroyed by the fire. We know that over 2500 structures were burned. Not every structure had a car with it but many did. There were also instances such as this small car dealership in Phoenix where many cars were lost.<\/p>\n

I would have to put the numbers well into the hundreds if not over 1000. Which begs the question of what they are going to do with all those car carcasses. I suppose there is some metal to be salvaged.<\/p>\n

 In most cases the tires were burned completely off. In some cases if you get close enough you can see puddles of metal that melted and recongealed.  Occasionally you see a car that is only half burned. Maybe the firefighters got there before it was gone.<\/p>\n

You can just see my house in the photo above behind the trees between the building and the truck. In any case the cars are just a drop in the bucket of what needs to be cleaned up and hauled away. On the bright side I have been seeing some shiny new cars around town so some people’s insurance must have paid off. And I’m sure the local car dealers will be glad of an opportunity to recover some from their COVID losses.<\/p>\n

In case you missed me yesterday, I decided that, while I am committed to continuing to show and tell the story of the Almeda Fire and recovery efforts, I just can’t do it every day and still have a life. Once or twice a week is probably more realistic. But stay tuned and know that I am out there gathering photos for the next installment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
