Current Event 9/14/11

In Minnesota there was a huge wildfire that spread to 100,000 acres.  After seeing the pictures of the massive fire and what it was doing, I realized how big of a deal it was.  One fire caused 100,000 acres worth of trees and land to burn.  Over 230 firefighters are working on the fire and putting it out.  The environment suffered a great deal and there were even air quality warnings.  I think this wildfire is a terrible  thing to happen to such a large amount of land, and there should be better and more ways to prevent them from happening.
