Can anyone confirm the temperature of the Woosley fire was between 1400 - 1800 degrees? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.156.173.235 (talk) 16:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No Forest

This is in reference to President Trump's citing mismanagement of forests by California. As a 45-year resident of the Woolsey Fire area, I know personally that there is no forest in the area of the fire. On the other hand, much of the area burned is within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, a national park and an area that is the responsibility of the federal government. The Response section should be updated to reflect this. User:DERoss 16:54, 21 November 2018 (PST)

@DERoss:, those are excellent facts to know. You should make that edit if it hasn't been done already. Granite07 (talk) 01:03, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malibu Wine Safari giraffe

I propose the following change under the Impacts section of this page. Other animals at locations such as Malibu Wine Safari were either evacuated or cared for at the locations, including a giraffe who was not legally meant to be in Malibu in the first place. ^[1] Ggrant3 (talk) 23:19, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
