Los californianos provocan miles de incendios forestales cada año con malas decisiones y comportamiento imprudente. El incendio Park, iniciado por un hombre que empujaba un automóvil en llamas, fue uno de ellos.

People trigger thousands of wildfires in California every year with unfortunate choices and sometimes reckless behavior. The 2024 Airport Fire, caused by an Orange County crew trying ro prevent wildfires, was one. The Park Fire, ignited by a man pushing a burning car, was another.

The fire is moving into areas where salmon are waiting to spawn. Already in dire shape, experts worry that the Park Fire could be the deathblow to these fish.

El fuego se está desplazando hacia zonas donde los salmones esperan para desovar. Los expertos, que ya se encuentran en una situación desesperada, temen que el incendio Park pueda ser el golpe mortal para estos peces.

Newsom's executive order to enforce sweeps of homeless encampments only harms unhoused people further. Clearing encampments cause people to lose their belongings, connections to family and friends, and dignity — it is not the answer to the homelessness crisis.

California's initiative process casts voters as judges of political policy issues. Sometimes they're parsing competing measures on the same topic.
