In California many wildfires have been reported, with them spreading rapidly, it is estimated that 29 people have died since January 7, 2025 in Los Angeles from wildfires, and 7.08 million acres being burnt from these fires. With the danger of these fires being high, it is important that you take the steps below to help prevent the spread of these fires.
1. Always watch your campfires, if things go out of hand it’s important that an adult is nearby to solve the issue.
2. Never play with fire. Fire can be dangerous and can lead to injuries and can spread rapidly if not careful.
3. Don’t do campfires or other activities that include fire during the dry season, it is more dangerous if the fire gets out of the campfire or other activity during the dry season, if fire gets out the campfire or the fire from a different activity gets out of it escapes its designated spot it is more likely to spread in the dry season then other times during the year.
4. Research and spread awareness, with the help of others we can reduce the risk of wildfires in many more places then just California!
Remember that not all wildfires can be bad; but it’s important to maintain them.
