What do you think caused the fires?

I think that the fires where caused by people smoking and trowing the buds out the window, but I also think it could be by someone leaving a campfire by its self.

What would you do if you where in the places that were buring?

I would be scared and panic, but then i would get my mind stright and pack whats important and leave.

  • Be sure to take a bit more time fine tuning your summary as there are errors within it. I also think your questions could be stronger and that you could have commented a lot more. 35/50

  • I think that there are probably many reasons that the fires started. I would be scared and upset knowing I could lose everything.

  • Since I use to live in Cali it bad it mostly starts because the state is so dry. The best thing to do is when you first here about a fire in Cali you must leave right away because it can spread fast.

  • Fires can be caused by a lot of things so it is very hard to stay with out like having background on it.I would be scared and i would try my best to get out and possibly help others that need out along the way.

  • Most fires nowadays are caused by negligence, so I would assume that these are too. I don't know of very many cases were people commit arson to this level, because no one should be out to burn thousands of acres and take human lives. If my land was in danger of burning, I would take all that I can within reason, and evacuate my family to a safe location. As long as what I have is insured, I should have one less thing to worry about. 

  • I think it was because somone left a camp fire by its self. I don't think it was on purpose. I would be in panic, but I think I would try to help oter people out there and then leave.

  • It could have came from a lot of things! Fires happen all the time but Cali is so dry that it starts fast. I would pack up the things I need the most and hit the road with my family and try to go stay at a hotel or other members of my family!

  • i know that they said in another thing that it was caused by a campfire that got out of control i would probably move down south before going east towords flordia or that area 

  • I think the fires could be cause by multiple different things like: ciggarette butts, campfires, powerline arcs, etc. If I were to be in the places that were burning, I would be scared and worried because I wouldn't know what to do and I might lose my house and my belongings.

  • Im sure it was something smal lthat started the fire which is usually the cause of msot wildifres. I would try and get to a place I knew was safe maybe with relatives that lived a ways away.
