In mans history we have seen many great fires from the 1860 Elm Street Tenement in New York City that killed 200 that resulted in a requirement for fire escapes in buildings over 6 stories and multiple exits in new building to the 2003 Station Nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island that killed 100, making NFPA later adopted a new standard for nightclubs to be sprinkled with 50 or more occupants.

The Cedar Fire (2003) was one of the largest and deadliest wildland fires in California history burning nearly 300,000 acres in San Diego County and killing 15, including 1 firefighter. A lost hiker accidently set this fire from survival methods attempted with a flare.

For everyone involved in the Yellowstone fires, there is a particular day that stands out above the rest. For Carol Shively, interpretive ranger, it was July 31st; the day the fire hit West Thumb. “We headed into the geyser basin to clear visitors, but some were reluctant to leave—they were captivated by the mushroom- like clouds of smoke rising to the north, the helicopters dipping low to fill their water buckets in the lake, and the planes dropping red retardant drops that streaked across the sky. And then it came. Tongues of fire whipped through the air and seemed to roll over the horizon toward us. With terrific force, the wall of flames approached the road, hesitated slightly, and then rushed up on the other side, even greater

Like a tsunami happening right after a earthquake, nature doesn't care that the town or city was already partially destroyed, it does what it does because it simply doesn't care. Like in the story right after the man had fallen in the water, as if he wasn't cold enough already nature goes and drops the temperature even more. In the naturalist story “To Build a Fire” by Jack London the theme is that nature doesn’t care who you are, this is shown by the use of the elements of plot, imagery, setting & mood, and finally the conflict of the story.

John Bailey is a Professor of Silviculture and Fire Management at OSU. In his testimony, John describes wildfire as inevitable. He links the 2017 wildfire in Oregon and West to a combination of climate change and increasing amounts of fuel. Fuels have been increasing in terms of total quantity and connectivity between the many acres and as a result, wildfires burn in increasingly large areas. The Forest Service has been making mistakes by being unable to treat the increasing surface fuels previous years before the fires. John recommends active land management which would include

“To Build a Fire” is a short story written by Jack London. It is viewed as a masterpiece of naturalist fiction. “To Build a Fire” features a miner who is traveling to the Yukon Territory with a dog as his companion. The miner is the protagonist and the dog companion is called the foil. The dog plays off of the traits of the protagonist. “The central motif of “To Build a Fire” concerns the struggle of man versus nature.” (Short Story Criticism) The most argued point in the short story is the reason of the protagonist death. “Some critics believe that it was his lack of intuition and imagination that lead to his death, while others say that he dies because of panic.” (Short Story Criticism) The protagonist in “To Build a Fire” struggles in

The damage is widespread. For kilometres all to be seen is blackened trunks and shrivelled leaves consumed by the smoky breath of fire. Looking closely, it could be conceived that each individual tree appears scarred; trunks reduced to charcoal, with dying embers glowing incandescently. But after time, the landscape changes. Green shoots poke up through the ground; worming their way towards the sunlight. Ferns tendril from the hollows of blackened trees, bringing life back into a landscape that was made so desolate by the searing flames. The rebirth has begun and these new plants will flourish and form a new, widespread landscape more rich and full of life than its predecessor.

The slight glow of red from the enter sign was the main light source of the rodeo, creating a spooky setting for the already dark night. A faint aroma of buttered popcorn lingered in the air, enticing the crowd to purchase a salty treat of their own. Occasionally, the sound of a cash register would ding, meaning another ticket was sold for the spectacular race of the horses. But soon, rain clouds began rolling in from the west, and the storm produced an ear-piercing clap of thunder and a bright bolt of lightening struck the grass just outside the barn, creating flying sparks. From the stable, sounds of neighing, banging, and screams of the cowboys echoed throughout the crowds. The crowd looked baffled as the noises rose from behind the closed

In my previous speech from the last couple of speaking assignments, my speech was about the prevention of wildfire, and I explained some of the causes and ways the audience can do to prevent it. It’s a topic that won’t get as much disagreement, but the way I presented and organized the speech can throw off the audience which will bring up some questions. I had asked some of my friends to review my speech and came up with questions pertaining to it.

I was born on August 21st, seemingly unimportant and mundane. August 21st isn’t a holiday or the date of something special, it doesn’t cause excitement like December 25th or October 31st, nor does it house the birth of a notable celebrity. However, when looked at through an astronomical perspective August 21st lies on the cusp of Leo and Virgo, the cusp of exposure. Leo, being popular, outspoken, aggressive, vain, and stubborn contradicts Virgo, who is reserved, modest, worrisome, and critical of oneself. Leos are represented by fire, housing a flame that refuses to be put out, whereas Earth, monotonous and dull, represents Virgos.
