A Ford dealership in California has been hit with a barrage of criticism over a tone deaf ad which tried to make light of the deadly wildfires ravaging the state.
The ad, which was published by the company's Simi Valley dealership on November 11, read: 'Well we didn't catch fire but these deals are smoking hot. Take a look!'
It was slammed on Twitter as 'disgusting' and 'distasteful'.
Simi Valley Ford published this ad on November 11 as the wildfires burned around it. The dealership was slammed for the 'disgusting' ad
The dealership published another post later in an attempt to apologize.
It read: 'Hello Friends, Our advertising team picked a heading for this week's campaign that appears to be insensitive to some.' It linked to a Facebook page which has since been removed.
On Tuesday morning, a spokesman for the dealership told DailyMail.com: 'Recently, we expressed ourselves in a way that does not reflect our values.
'We are sorry.
'Simi Valley is our home and, like all of us who live here, we will continue to assist during these difficult times.'
The dealership sits just to the north of the Woolsey Fire Perimeter and northeast of the Hill fire.
Both are uncontained and continue to ravage the area.

The Camp Fire, further north, is the deadliest the state has ever seen.
In total, 44 people have been killed, including 42 people who were killed by the Camp Fire.
Firefighters are working 24 hour shifts to try to put out the blazes and entire neighborhoods have been razed.
More than 200 people remain missing and firefighters are now carrying out the grim task of removing charred bodies from vehicles as they work through the wreckage.
The dealership said the ad 'appears to be insensitive to some' in a post afterwards. It was slammed for its lame attempt to apologize

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
