Neil Young is another musician who has opened up about the wildfires, which have also claimed his home. On his site, Young writes, "FireFighters have never seen anything like this in their lives. I have heard that said countless times in the past two days, and I have lost my home before to a California fire, now another."
The three major fires have scorched the picturesque landscape, with the Camp Fire burning 111,000 acres alone (according to The BBC). The Woolsey Fire, which is closer to downtown LA, has already destroyed 85,500 acres.
