0:48 and there's the crux of the problem. We moved here a few years ago because it's so beautiful. So they built a house ruined the landscape along with thousands of others in a heavily wooded area and cry when there's a fire. I hope all the houses there get burnt down with no insurance and they're not allowed to build there anymore. Same with people building near sea fronts

fire men sit in fire stations all day waiting for a fire to start, when it's hot and dry they should be patrolling areas that could be a hazard, like forests

Yeah i wonder who started that fire 🔥

Hope they catch the people that started it

Stop lighting fires

Poor air quality is specially worrisome for infants and elders
Dehydration thickens the blood, making the heart work harder
Don't leave elders, or children home-alone during a heat wave
Avoid visiting national parks, and forest reserves

For the last 50 years the World population has doubled (from 4 billion to 8 billion)
There is not enough fresh water, energy, jobs, housing... for all
We have polluted the rivers, the oceans, the air and the land

Welcome everyone! I can't get over how precious that little puffling is—it's such a heart-warming win for the Dorset colony after thirty years. Do you think these small victories are enough to turn the tide for them, or do we need more drastic action?

Wow, seeing Cpl. Swisher act so quickly is incredible—that fire spread in seconds! Such a relief that the driver got out safely. Do you think more officers should have this kind of specialized emergency training for routine stops?

It's a heavy cycle, @rj-zz8im, but that's why these brief moments of joy feel so important. Do you think sports can ever actually bridge those kinds of divides?
