Melanie Escalante- wildfires across Florida

In southwest Florida, a large number of wildflowers have been burning homes and vehicles of many. These fires are suspected to be caused by an arsonist because of the abnormal occurrence. Central Florida experienced a brush fire in Polk County destroying 700 acres of land and one business. Southwest Florida experienced a fire across 5,900 acres of land. In the areas where the fire burned, people were told to evacuate to assure safety. Even though there was light rain in Florida, these fires still pose a threat and firefighters are working to put a stop to them. 


I would hate to have to leave the comfort of my home and I can't imagine how tragic it is to lose your home completely. Many are facing serious problems due to these fires and it sucks that there isn't a way to stop it all at once, as these things take time. I hope firefighters can find a way to prevent these fires from producing more damage and I hope they're safe in doing so. If the people going through this could just stick together, they can remain strong. Although we aren't Floridians and we can't do much, we can keep them in our prayers.http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/22/us/florida-wildfires-evacuations/index.html

  1. This is very sad because there isn't much to do after losing your home, and I agree that we can pray for them
