Clueless of the California wildfire's extent

When the dad and two sons went home to Clovis, California, it was only then that they realized the extent of the California wildfires.

The three could see the news and talk to their relatives, who became very worried about their condition.

When they were at the campsite, they had no idea about what was happening. The dad said, "Where we were at ... we had no idea how big the fire was or how much was going on down here to help organize rescues and how many people were stranded."
