Firefighters gain an edge on wildfire in Yosemite National Park
This article was written by Brian Skoloff and Tracie Cone (from the Associated Press) and their point of view is told in the third person. The article is about the unpredictable wildfire. In recent news, near Yosemite National Park, the now one
of the largest fires in Californian history is so massive that it is said to be
the size of Chicago. Two dozen plus structures (since August 25) have been destroyed and
more than four thousands home are in its path. Along with the homes, some of
the worlds’ oldest trees are in danger and one of the most beautiful places in
North America. The Rim Fire has developed so massive that it created its own
weather pattern.
My prior knowledge of the Californian rim fire was that it was caused by a lighting strike and was not even 5% contained. I now know that 40% of the wildfire is contained, but lives were lost. The concern over the fire has grown seeing how more homes and a national park is in danger along with some of the world's oldest tree. This article was written to inform whom ever it concerns about this natural disaster. This article is important because lots of homes, wildlife, vegetation, and lives on the line. It is important to know that wildfires are unpredictable at times but preventable.
It;s terrible that this fire has become so out of control and has caused so much damage. We have to do our best to prevent such things because they are a threat to humans as well as nature.
