According to By Neil Shea “Fire Season” it summarizes the reason why there are always having fire in late spring and lasts into fall . It also exposes the shortcoming the firefighters confront now.
The so called “Fire season” begins at late spring and lasts into fall. Just like any other natural disaster in other place like tornadoes or earthquakes the fire has claimed a lot of resources in the U.S. But what is the main reason why the fire have caused such high cost this time is the firefighters who rescue the fire use the risky way to extinguish it and the way was usually used to stop the fire.
The way used to put out the fire is called “backburn.” It is a method that the American fire rescuers utilize to quit the fire going on. But the way used this time seems badly because it not only does not stop the fire but, what is worse, give a chance to let the fire glow. What made the problem worse was the wind which suddenly appeared and ruined the whole schedule the firefighters who were optimistic at first planed to do. But, at the last step to think about what the most important reason for this disastrous disaster is originated from the drought coming earlier and the storm arriving later and it is now the most possible answer about this catastrophe.
