funds to help firefighters in California as they battle at least three major

There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in
California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are
given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of

The Camp Fire in Northern California, which has destroyed nearly 6,500 homes and
killed at least nine people, appears to be the most destructive fire in at least
a century. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection agency, the fire burned around 100,000 acres and just 20% is
contained.
The wildfire in the North incinerated most of the town of Paradise with flames,
McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said, adding
The town, where around 30,000 people live, was struck by the blaze that
destroyed nearly 7,000 structures, mostly homes, in just a day.
