I read an article called "We can stop it", say Calif. fire crew. I found this article in the Denver Post. The article talks about how in Southern California firefighters are faced with a wildfire so large, it burned across nearly 600 square miles. This wildfire is prompting the biggest evacuation California history. The reason for the start of the wildfire is that Southern California is all dry land, hot weather, and lots of wind. "This makes a perfect storm for a fire", said the mayor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Firefighters also stated that they can save some stuff, but can not stop it. I personally feel that this wildfire is a danger to not only the ones in Southern California but those next to it or below it, for example Mexico. In the article they stated that this wildfire can spread all the way to the border of Mexico and to the ocean. I think that Mexico is also pretty dry with hot weather, which means that if this wildfire keeps spreading down towards that border line it is very possible for that wildfire to make its way into Mexico. Homes, offices, stores, and vacation homes, all have been destroyed. As far as we know the firefighters are only trying to save the buildings more then putting out the fire. Its a dangerous experience, and the only thing people can do over there for now is to listen, pay attention, and evacuate as soon as told.
