Have you noticed that there has been a lot of fire lately coming from Canada? There has been a lot of smoke in the air as of lately?

There have been more smoke in the air coming from Canada now than when I was a child.

To some people with all this smoke in the air, it makes breathing very difficult to breathe. It’s rather unhealthy to us and to nature.

When I was growing up, I was taught how not to start forest fire by Smoky, the Bear. It seems the younger generation is so careless when it comes to starting fire.

Don’t get me wrong there have been great fires throughout history. There have been 2 great fires on October 8, 1871 that occurred in the Midwest. The Great Chicago Fire that killed 250 people and left one-quarter of Chicago homeless. The other one was the Great Peshtigo Fire in the forest of northern Michigan and Wisconsin that affected 1.5 million acres and killed approximately 1500 people.

In the year of 1893, on June 7, 1893, the worse fire in the history of Fargo began in downtown and spread from wood building to wood building, destroying city hall,the business district and the homes of most of Fargo’s 6,000 residents.

In the early Spring around April of the year 1997, when Grand Forks got hit with a flood, they also was hit with a great fire as well.

Has anyone been involved in a fire or seen one up close?

Every year in the Springtime,we would raked the leaves in our yard down on the farm and raked it into the ditch. When the leaves were down in the ditch, my step-dad would burn the leaves, that ways he could keep it contained properly. There was a time though, that we nearly lost the house on the farm due to a fire. It was before we moved back on the farm. We were busy cleaning up the yard around the house and he was getting rid of the old Mink House. He set it on fire to clean it up. Anyway, somehow the fire got out of hand and the fire department was called. We ended up staying overnight to keep an eye on the fire to make sure that it doesn’t restart. The next day, the people who rented our grandmother’s house invited us 2 youngest in for breakfast.

Have you ever stood next to a fire? The fire gets very warm. When you stand outside the fire, it’s cool to watch; even though it can be dangerous. That’s why as kids,we are told not play with matches and fire.. You will get burn when you play with matches. Usually during the 4th of July, we were only allowed to have sparklers. Any other fireworks, my folks would handle so that we could watch from a safe distance.

It seems that there has been more fires lately. Fires are being set as a protest such as the riots in LA. There have been fires set in Minneapolis in 2020 in the protest over George Floyd. There also have been fire set in the protest in Seattle as well.

Those on the Left is all for saving the environment with the new green deal; but yet they have been starting a lot of fire lately in protest.

Don’t they realize,we need the trees for oxygen to breathe. The birds and other animals also need the trees as well. The trees gives off oxygen. When you burn down the trees or even cut it down, they are doing more harm to the environment. They are polluting our planet with all the fires being set.

Trees are better wind and sun block. They are nature’s way. I don’t know about you but I would rather see a tree than a windmill and solar panel. Trees is wear birds build their nest to rest and to have baby birds. There are some animals that climb the trees for food and rest.

Whenever a bird fly near a windmill,their wings get chopped and they may killed.

Have you ever seen a bird fly into a window? If the window is clean, they fly into it thinking that it’s clear, only to either get killed or shook up a little. I remembered one time a bird hit my apartment window on the balcony and was knocked down. I went outside to check on the bird. Luckily, the bird was alright. My female cat, Tabitha follow me outside and pawed the bird wondering what it was. Now if it was my male cat, he would had kill it.

Sorry for getting off track here a little. The message I’m getting at is this: if those on those on the Left cares so much for the environment, why are they starting so much fire lately? Sure they may say, “We didn’t start the fire.”

I hate seeing all these trees being burned down. We need the trees. How are we going to survive without the trees? Pass it on down!! Let’s save some trees and wildlife for the future generation. Save some blue in the sky. Clear the smoke in the sky from all the fires being set ablaze.

To those on the Left who is worried about Global Warming, quit with all the fires being set. Why don’t we tear down the windmills and solar panel instead. The smoke in the air is polluting our planet and making it tough for people to breathe. The windmills and solar panels is destroying the wildlife.
