On Sunday a wildfire in the hills east of San Francisco Bay burned about 3,700 acres by late Monday. This has now become latest of the California fires this summer. They don't really know when the fire will be completely put out, but they did say it may clear up by Wednesday. They do have about 700 firefighters state and local working on putting it out with 85 engines 30 fire crews and 2 air tankers. The fire was also very close to a Pacific Gas line, so they worked furiously to push that back first, while the fire kept spreading during that. They also have evacuated 11,000 people from their homes in danger of this fire. This is important because this puts a lot of lives in danger and really destroys California every summer when they have these fires. There are also a lot of firefighters working on putting this out, putting themselves in danger. The real importance of this is lives and the destruction it does, this fire needs to stop.
