Fires in California have always been a problem, but in recent events, they have gotten worse. The flames engulfed forests, houses and buildings all over Southern California. Millions of people had to be evacuated, and some will not have a home to return to.
One way that firefighters and first responders fight fires is with a pink fire suppressor. Aerial fire suppressants are usually made up of a mixture of water, ammonium phosphate and iron oxide. Planes fly above and release this substance across the fires in an attempt to suppress the flames.
People from all over the West Coast came to help fight the fires. Forest fires are something to be worried about, but people have to remember that in some cases these fires are natural. Forest fires are a big part of Mother Nature, and they are necessary to kill and burn the dead and infested trees in the forest. However, these fires in California get to a point when they start affecting human daily life and everything going on, then they become a problem.
Although some aspects of these fires are natural, people across the West Coast are also being arrested for crimes related to the fires. The crimes include arson, illegal drones, fraud and burglary.
Many people’s lives are being uprooted and misplaced due to these fires. Now that the world is seeing the aftermath of what the fires did to these people, all they can do is send help and resources to get their lives back on track.
