Forest Fire
Personal memory by natalie woolard
2012 • Monrovia, CA, USA
A few years ago, I used to live in a house that was up on a hill that overlooks the city and mountains. One time, there was a huge fire that was really close to my house that did a lot of damage to the land on the mountains and many trees. Me and my family got witness the flames that were burning down all of the natural landscape which was very sad and scary to watch. Not only was the fire destroying the trees and mountains but was also polluting the air.
