Some of my friends have to stay inside because of health conditions, although it was meant to prevent a larger fire it has created a larger problem as it has gotten out control. This is problematic because there's almost no way of clearing up the smoke and people who will suffer from its outcome will not receive any compensation. It will also effect wild-life and plants, it will be hard to reverse the effects of this fire and the harm it has done. With…
