California Fires
The California fires started this month and they burned down everything in their path. Many people have lost their homes in the flames but that's not all.
The flames have also taken the lives of 47 people and left hundreds of injured, some in critical condition.
No Rain
California has always had problems with fire because the temperature is dry and the region doesn't get that much rain.
Due to the lack of rainfall, firefighters have an extremely hard time putting out wildfires.
Tragic Accidents
Unfortunately, many die in the fires and if not, they lose everything they have ever worked for such as their homes.
This is why firemen always advise California residents to evacuate their homes and leave it all behind instead of trying to cling on to their belongings.
