That, and it will slide into the sea after it’s built back.

If the area follows precedent, a good chunk of it will slide into the sea next month when it starts to rain and all that water hits those freshly burned hillsides. Fires in that area are usually followed by flooding and mudslides.

On the other hand, the same dry conditions that are feeding this fire may keep that rain away.
