Wildfires in California

The wildfires in California have been burning for a very long time. The fires have burned over 3.2 million acres of land. There have been around 28 major wildfires that approximately 16,500 fire fighters have been struggling with. 24 people have died and over 4,200 structures have been destroyed. The wildfires happening in California are a very big deal. There is so much land that has been burned and still burning till this day. President Donald Trump needs to stop treating the wildfires as a small issue and actually help out the state by any means necessary, instead of helping the president is just blaming the state. As of October 5^th, 2020, the fires reached another milestone of burning 4 million acres of the California state.

I’ve heard of the wildfires happening in the states before but didn’t really pay much attention until I started researching the wildfires of California and was truly surprised. The state management needs to come up with a better plan to fight these fires.
