THE CALIFORNIA FIRES


Anyone who has listened to the news the last few days must have heard about the forest fires devastating San Diego at present.
There are two types of fires. Those that are provoked by pyromaniacs and those which are caused by nature.
The fires are advancing due to the windy conditions. This has caused already two deaths and the evacuation of millions of people. The firefighters are working day and night together with special aeroplanes to try and extinguish the flames. The fires are so intense that the smoke from them can be seen on the satellite pictures from kilometres above the earth´s surface. How sad it is to see people returning to their homes and finding that they have lost their houses and all their possessions.
