When it’s reported on the news that the Southern California fires have burned over 100,000 acres, it’s hard to understand the magnitude of it all.

But these aerial-view photos can put it into perspective.

Thank you to all the first responders, firefighters, and citizens willing to help fight these California wildfires. #CaliforniaWildfires pic.twitter.com/TyeGx4z85Q

Today’s pass over SoCal unfortunately doesn’t look any better. The fires east of Camp Pendleton and in Baja are visible as well. #CaliforniaWildfires pic.twitter.com/khM9TK1u0F

According to Fox 13, 100 firefighters from agencies all over Utah are being deployed to help fight the fires. Everyone on the Mix 105.1 team hopes for a quick end to the chaos and for our firefighters to return safely.
