Opening Activity

The BCA wildfire that has spread 100,000 acres finally slowed down due to weather, such as cooler temperatures and lighter wind. However the number of firefighters has grown from 200-500, and they are using bulldozers and hand tools to clear brush and dig ditches to try to prevent the fire from spreading to more forest and to properites. The town of Isabella is only a few miles away from the fire, so the firefighters  are trying even harder to keep the fire away from the town, which is in danger of being engulfed by the massive flames. My opinion is that the fire will be stopped before it actually does spread to Isabella, because there are many firefighters who will protect the town and keep the peoples homes and lives safe. It is suprising that this is one of the largest forest fires Minnesota has ever had.
