Fire vs. School

Northern California fires have led to detrimental effects. Not only have the fires taken the homes of thousands of people, but thay have also led to severe economic issues, environmental problems, and interfered with education. Various schools closed their doors to students including those in Mount Diablo, Martinez, Antioch, Napa Valley, and Sonoma Valley Unified School Districts. In addition, countless people have lost their homes and have been forced to evacuate. Economic crisises shake the state as businesses and wineries burned down, and the prices of homes are expected to increase in the already costy Northern California, as thousands of people attempt to relocate. Further investigations and lawsuits against PG&E are made due to the facts that this company may have sparked the fire are in progress. Tragically, these fires have only worsened our already declining environment, worsening air quality and impacting the health of much of California residents.
