James Wood, a local resident of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. He received a phone call from his mother, saying that their house had caught on fire. After this phone call, this was the last he heard from his mother. Roughly 15,000 acres in Eastern Tennessee caused tons of people to evacuate their homes. Soon after examining the causes and effects of this devastating fire, it was discovered that it was man- made. The fires had started several days before they were seen in Gatlinburg.

This helps represent the abundance of human made environmental destruction. Throughout all years, humans have worsened the earth. It is important for us to make the earth more "green."

  1. I wonder what could've led someone to do this and I agree it's important that we are considerate towards the environment.

  2. This is so saddening! I hope that these man made destructions are stopped in their tracks. We need to be more careful about our environment.
