The Fire in Sydney

(This is a real story)

Fire fighters are battling the most destructive fires in Australia. People are being evacuated from their homes to safe places. The fires have destroyed about 200 homes. With forecasts of high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds the situation can get worse!                       
The problem is in Sydney, Australia, and it has taken place in November 2013 and continuing. Thousands of firemen are battling the hot flames but that is still not enough. Men from different jobs are volunteering and leaving their jobs. “There is a very real potential for more loss of homes and loss of life,” said NSW Rural Fire Service commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons.                                                     
  Wildfires are common in Australia but never earlier than Australia’s summer, which happens in December. Wildfires occur when there is high temperatures and low humidity like in Australia. Authorities say due to the lack of rain. Firemen who are battling the wildfires in Sydney, we wish for the best.
