This article talks about the massive forest fire in California. It has already taken thousands of acres. Man homes and some businesses have been destroyed and many more are in the path of the blazing fires. CNN stated that there are over 3600 fire fighters battling the fire and has charred more than 105,000 acres in southern California. Unfortunately there have been two fire fighters that have already lost their lives from this enormous fire.
My first response to reading this article was, why would these people live in an area where there are forest fires and their two million dollar houses can be destroyed. I bet their insurance is outrageous. After thinking about it, I bet these same people would ask why we live in “tornado alley.”
A fire this size is very dangerous and destructive. With the help from all the fire fighters coming in from all over the country, I believe that they will handle the fire as fast and safely as they possibly can. I was glad to hear Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared California in a state of emergency.
We should all be thankful to those who take on the dangerous task of being a fire fighter. They are there to help and sometimes pay the ultimate price doing so
