Yesterday, three wildfires started to wreak havoc on California, destroying everything in their path.  The Cascade fire, around Loma Rica, spread across more than 5,000 acres, and that was just in the morning.  Even as late as the early afternoon, the wildfire still was not contained. The LaPorte fire started in Butte County late Sunday night and ravished around 3,000 acres, which forced evacuations around these counties. The third wildfire, the Cherokee fire, only consumed 1,000 acres around Oroville,  in Butte county.

  October is the worst month in California’s wildfire season because of its high temperatures, moving seasonal winds, and dry tinder, which when combined, creates the perfect scenario for a raging wildfire. So far, the wildfires have killed at least ten people and severely injured more than 100, while also destroying more than 1,500 houses in Northern California. To help protect citizens, around 20,000 buildings have been evacuated. The wildfires are continuing to spread due to the arid conditions of the brush that act as an accelerant.
