For my reading this week, I found an article on UsaToday.com about the destructive wild fires in California. The article is called Thousands Flee as Wild Winds Fan California Wildfires and is was written by Shaya Tayefe Mohajer. The article summarized the the horrible conditions they are experiencing in California. They have been battling not only the ferocious wildfires but also the high winds. In southern California, the fire's size practically doubled throughout the night and it has destroyed many homes. In San Diego County, over 1,000 homes were evacuated and so far the fire has killed 2 people; one by the flames and the other died in a car crash because of flames on the highway. The winds have gotten up to 50 mph and the firefighters are working extremely hard to put this fire out. I was really rattled when I read this article and I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have to leave my home to evacuate for a fire coming for my home.

For those hit by wildfires, here’s a tip. When California was hit by wildfires this summer, as Contra Costa Times journalist Janis Mara reported, many homeowners got an AspenAir Inside home air cleaning unit to quickly removed the smoke that came inside. It removed the tiny, dangerous RSPs that go deep in the lungs to exacerbate asthma, allergies and other respiratory diseases. Those most at risk are infants, the elderly (less lung capacity), work-at-homes and those who already have breathing problems.
