Earthquakes! Volcanoes! Tsunamis! Corruption! And now: Forest Fires! Our contry is DOOMED. Jokes apart. This is pretty sad. Some cops and firefighters died on these fires, and many people are homeless. I hope it ends soon.
One of the very few things this country has to offer is being consumed by flames. Holy shit this is one of the worst ways to begin the year. On a positive note, the efforts to help the people affected are increasing every day. From individuals to universities, everyone is trying their best to give a little help to the victims.
There are even some reports that some people are intentionally starting fires What kind of sick bastards would do something like that
