That was so devastating sight seeing their beloved grandpa die because of fire. May his soul rest in peace I understand how he struggled to survive from fire. He should have not left alone.

Yes, he shouldn't have been left alone at that critical point in time. Condolences all the same to the family

He could have saved himself if he was not in panic. There are 83 years old still active and energetic. People there failed to use their commonsense,once see smoke rose up they should have left safely with their important documents and belongings like clothes, and others that could be carried through their cars.

They should just open the pacific ocean and don't bother about flooding. I think flood is better to manage than this raging fire.

A lot of times we can't manage natural disater as they come with force that can be difficult to put under control

He died in panic, he might also have had a sickness that deprived him of saving his life. That was so tragic and painful.
