Severns was found guilty of starting the fire and was sentenced to seventeen years in prison. Prosecutors denied the ability of the aerosol cans to be the cause of the fire. However, after a video of aerosol cans bursting into flames was released, prosecutors admitted that the fire that took place in Severns gun shop could have been accidental. If the video was shown at the trial the outcome would have been different. Severns was offered a plea deal, but he refused the deal because he said he did not do it. I believe that Cameron is innocent. There is no where near enough evidence to prove him as guilty and the aerosol cans are very likely to be the cause of the fire. I do not think his outcome is fair, I believe they made a mistake for imprisoning
In 2003, possibly one of the worst wildfires in California’s history occurred. This fire, referred to as the Cedar Fire, spread across 273,246 acres.
The hayman fire is the biggest fire in recorded history burning 138,000 acres. The fire has had long lasting damages on the environment. There were many factor that added up that created a dangerous situation where the area was very fire prone. Though the fire was believed to be started by a woman burning a letter but the forest had the right conditions to generate a massive fire.
Nestled deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the Linville Gorge is a federally designated wilderness area that is part of Pisgah National Forest. This unique slice of southern Appalachia is managed by the Grandfather Ranger District and is located in the Blue Ridge Escarpment near the town of Marion, NC. To the east, Linville Gorge is bordered by Jonas Ridge, and the slopes of Linville Mountain form the western border. The two steep sides create a terrain that is extremely rugged and rocky, which would seemingly make it difficult for vegetation to establish communities on the canyon walls. However, this is not the case, as the gorge has very dense populations of hardwoods, conifers, and understory shrubs. The intimidating topography of the Linville Gorge Wilderness area enabled it to be

The rising number of high severity wildfires in California has significant ecological, economic, and health impacts. Many western American forests are adapted to frequent low severity fires. However, the majority of these forests, and particularly the mixed conifer forests of California, are not adapted to high intensity fires and do not possess fire resistance adaptations such as serotinous cones to protect seeds. Consequently, high severity fires have significant negative impacts on California forests, and the absence of low severity fires has considerably altered many fundamental ecosystem processes (Miller et al. 2008). Prior to 1900, low severity fires would burn every 6-15 years. Low severity fires are generally non-lethal, have minimal change to the overstory, and kill mainly small trees. In the past, these fires were started naturally by lightning, or by Native Americans who used low severity fires to manage the forests.

83 Archibald Street is at extreme risk in the event of the fire. The house has become hidden from street view due to a large, overgrown garden which poses significant risk. To worsen this risk, the building is largely constructed from wood along with a wooden side fence. Furthermore, chopped logs can be seen in the front yard which would make excellent fuel in the event of the fire.

A massive wildfire around Fort McMurray, Alberta, moved toward energy production facilities, which caused a shutdown that costed a Canadian manufacturer one million barrel a day. The fire jumped a firebreak area where plants and trees had been removed to stop its spread, moving north of Fort McMurray. About 4,000 workers were evacuated in the northern part of the area. The uncontrolled blaze covered 285,000 hectares, officials said that it was moving 30 to 40 meters per minute. If it keeps moving north, it has potential to impact a much bigger part of the production and impact facilities that were deemed as having no damage, a worker said. The fire also threatened Enbridge Inc's Cheecham crude oil tank farm south of Fort McMurray. The fire
