Lives have been lost. Entire towns have been burned to the ground. Cars abandoned on the side of the road. People are being forced to flee their homes. This is not a time for partisanship. This is a time for coordinating relief and response and lifting those in need up.
Today, I stood in awe of the strength and resilience of the people of Paradise, CA. Folks who lost everything, bending down on a knee to help another up.
Forever grateful for our firefighters and first responders on the frontlines tonight, battling these fires to keep CA safe.
Please be respectful of wildlife passing through trying to escape the #holyfire - they have lost their homes. Put out some water for them. Drive a little slower. Show some kindness so we can all get through this together.

Borneo has one of the world's best combinations of forest & ocean wilderness, where you can see many wonderful species like orangutans, proboscis monkeys, sea turtles, and more. Check out our all new trips to Malaysian Borneo in 2018 and 2019: https://t.co/LRvTr2OxaO
