6 Wildfires Spread Across California | Chloe Villa-Abrille

Californias dry arid climate brought the Thomas Fire into view as it quickly gained ground starting as a brush fire, and then soon and grew to become larger that New York. Before, in 2007, Zaca had burned 240,000 acres and  destroyed man home just like Thomas. With strong winds still remaining, Thomas has rose to become the 5th largest wild fire. Along with its spread comes the evacuation of 93,243 residents, but luckily persuasions are being taken and the remains to only be one death (who didn’t directly die by fire.) Currently the Thomas Fire, Creek Fire, Rye Fire, Lilac Fire, Skirball Fire, and Liberty Fire have more than covered the land mass of Singapore, thankfully fire fighters are diligently working to control and put an end to these devastating fires.

California is an extremely important part to the United States economy. Many important businesses and corporations are located there, the down fall of the people and companies relying on this land could gravely impact America. The land is also being used for agriculture, which is not helping the land survive, but also does call the issue of the lack of water there.
