The Linville Gorge, which is also known as “The Grand Canyon of North Carolina”, is astonishingly beautiful. Across the Linville Mountain, there are steep enclosed gorges, breathtaking waterfalls, and large hardwood and pine trees.

Looking further into the impacts of the Rodeo-Chediski fire the trees saw the greatest impact of the fire. Almost 90% of the trees suffered complete crown kill (Ffolliott, 2008). Either some trees had survived with low severity, were harmed, or dead because of the drought and the fire combined. Even though some of the trees that had faced high severity apparently after having seen what trees had survived the fire yet by 2004 two years after the fire they had died (Ffolliott, 2008). The wildfire also impacted the standardization structure, post-fire mortality of trees, and stocking of tree reproduction on the Steamer Ridge Watershed (Ffolliott, 2008).

BAUGHMAN TWP. — The East Wayne Fire District Board of Trustees approved placing a 3.1-mill levy for fire operations on the November ballot during its Thursday meeting.

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

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.

From the time the Graham Fire and Rescue crew got the call, it took them three minutes to arrive on scene at the Powell residence fire. Upon arrival, the department’s assistant chief stated that the fire was “burning hot” and already through the roof (Reavy, 2012). Based upon statements made by the social worker and the short amount of time in which it took first responders to arrive on scene, the incipient stage of the fire could not have lasted more than a minute. The social worker claimed to have smelled gas when Josh Powell took his children inside the house and pushed her away. The gasoline helped fuel the fire, and as it expanded, it grew in heat and intensity (Young & Ortmeier, 2011). There is no mention of a backdraft, which means
