Where would be the last place you would want to live right at this moment? The wildfires in California have been threatening 12,000 homes. There are evacuations for several places around the area. When people said to evacuate, three people didn’t listen. The fire spread to Antelope Valley where it burned three people, and destroyed at least three houses. They were immediately taken to the hospital. Only five percent of the fire is contained, and it might take until September 8 to extinguish it all.In the western edge of Angeles National Forest fifty five square miles have already been burned. There are around 2,000 firefighters trying to put it out. People are still trying to find out why it started in the first place. The thing that shocked people the most was that the fire traveled six-seven miles in the night without the Santa Ana winds to help it spread. In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday the most dangerous and biggest of the several fires in California and Yosemite started. The fire line has been burning for about twenty miles. The air quality of the region was very bad, so people were told to stay inside their houses. The major goal is to stop it from spreading to Mount Wilson where there is broadcast, communication systems, and historic observatory. There has been a lot of talk about the state of California being bankrupt, how are they going to pay for all of these expenses?
