California Wildfires




Read the article about the California wildfires: “Leaving home in a fire zone and fearing it’s a final goodbye” (Click the pics above to read it again)

How can a community rebuild after a devastating tragedy like a fire?

What can others do to help communities rebuild?

If you lived in the wildfire zones, how would you respond to the challenge of evacuation? What items would you take with you?

  1. I think that a community can rebuild homes by doing a fundraiser or spend all of there taxes on rebuilding homes.
    Other communities can donate money to california. Also, some insurance companies can help give money to the people that need it or people who need to rebuild their homes. That is what insurance is for. Right!!!
    If this sudden tragedy happened to me, I would get a garden hose and turn the nozzle to jet and spray down my house and then others houses. I would also do the stop, drop, and roll fire procedure.
    If I had to leave I would take my glasses, and all my expensive and precious items, and my phone and my wallet.

  3. A community can rebuild after a fire by collecting all money from all the residents that was saved and buy all essential needs with the saved money (Food,Water,Masks,etc.)
    They could also, if at least one person had a electronic(Phone,tablet,etc.) they could contact the firemen.
    Something others can do is donate water, food, clothes and tents.If I lived in a wildfire zone and I had to evacuate I would bring some food, a big bottle of water and a spare set of clothes. I would be afraid and cautious but try to be brave.

    I think a way to rebuild California is to get more wood and remake all the things that broke.

    I think one way WE could help California is to donate Food,money and clothes.

    If I were in a FIRE like them I would just run away with my family and go somewhere safe.

  5. After a fire our community would spray in the area to make sure that the fire is stopped. We would start planting trees and flowers. If we had insurance we could use the money to rebuild houses or you can use the money for materials to build a house and build it by yourself. If anybody in the community had a little more money than others then they could help build doctors offices and restaurants etc. Also if anybody in the community had a certain skill, they should use that skill to help rebuild.

    The way people from other community's can helps by donating food, cloths, building materials, money etc.

    If I was in a wild fire zone and I had to evacuate I would be sad because I would have to say good by to my friends, my community, my home and my life. I would also be scared to death because any second I could be a pile of ashes. I would take a suitcase full of cloths, all the electronics (because they are worth a lot of money), all the money stored around the house, some good books, and a basketball. Then I would leave with my family in our car.

    What a community can do to rebuild after a fire is to have the people that build everything before the fire help teach others how to rebuild the buildings. Also, everyone has to work together to clean up and rebuild everything. One more thing people need to do is to help the animals and homeless people get away from the fire.

    What others can do to help is donate stuff like wood, food, water and necessary things like that. We could also donate things that they might want or need or we can give them helpful stuff that we no longer use but not garbage.

    If I live in a wildfire zone I would ask my mom to evacuate on time and I would bring my electronics, food, my Lego Advent calendar and my Christmas presents. I would also bring some clothes, pillows, blankets, books and my mudkips.

  7. One thing the community could help by rebuilding donated to them like food water money plants stuff they need. Another thing we can do is sharing with them.

    Other people could give the money because if they don't have money, everything will be bad because they need the money to buy food and other important things. But they couldn't go food because it would all just burn down. We could make a group that could donate not just to that but to help when things are very bad and hard.

    If I lived in the wild fire area I would take everything I loved and everything I need. I would especially take my pets if I had pets.

  9. Q:How can a community rebuild after a devastating tragedy like a fire?

    One way you can rebuild a community is you can gather everybody who's been harmed by these fires and do a fundraiser to raise money. After, they can give everybody a fair amount and the people who were harmed by the wildfires could get the things they lost back!

    Q:What can others do to help communities rebuild?

    One way others can help rebuild a community is they could donate money,food,and clothes to people who lost everything. They could also donate a good amount of money to a fundraiser or a charity. So,people can get a house for themselves or for their families!

    Q:If you lived in the wildfire zones,how would you respond to the challenge of evacuation? What items would you take with you?

    I would my pets,as many clothes as I can,my communication/electronic,food (of course) and valuable things!I would respond by evacuating and then spreading the word because I wouldn't want others to get harmed or injured and I would get my things as quickly as I could because who knows how quick a fire could start or even spread!

    1. I also wonder how quickly a fire spreads, because in the article it says they say smoke a few days before they saw flame.

    Although I HATE and I AM SCARED OF wildfires, I would help rebuild houses that are burnt down and find and chop wood from the giant redwood trees to help the community. others can find money, food, clothing, and other helpful items. others can also clean up the debris of burnt homes. If I live in wildfire zones, if I see a wildfire, I would take my personal belongings, my cats and dogs, and my brother Matthew. I would rescue the wild animals before a wildfire. Then I would take a limo with my brother and all of the wild animals all the way to Los Angeles to take the Amtrak all the way to NYC. I would bring the wild animals to upstate New York. Then I would watch the news on the TV.

  11. As a community, we could hold meetings to get everybody together so that the community can take turns and decide how we can rebuild houses that have been burned down by wildfires. What others can do to help the community is we could all get together to raise money and give it to the people that lost their houses. If I lived in the wildfire zone I would respond to the challenge of evacuation by taking my most valuable items, getting my dog and running to the nearest exit. The items I would take with me are my favorite stuffies, a picture my grandma painted, snow glove from the nutcracker, my precious pillow and my blanket.

  12. To build a community after a tragedy like fires you can, clean up ash, debris, and scraps, you can also strart to raise money to buy materials to rebuild houses. They then have to build a less complicated house. From there, it progresses. You also need to try to prevent other wildfires in that area, like, getting sprinklers to dampen the area, and spray down the trees.

    To help other communities rebuild you can, others can also help clean and build. They can also donate money for stuff. They can also buy stuff for them, like hoses to spray down trees, buy furniture, and other necessities.

    If I lived in a wildfire zone, if i kew that the fires were coming I would pack food and water, 3 stuffed animals, my cat, PS4 video games and toys. If I didn't know it was coming I would pack water, my cat, snacks, and one stuffed animal.

  13. A community can rebuild after a devastating tragedy by working together to repair any loses such as accepting donations and receiving funds from the government. Other's can help communities rebuild. They can go buy supplies like wood,medal,and paint. People can donate materials, food and clothing. They can offer shelter as well.If I lived in the wild fire zones I will gather my whole family I wouldn't leave anyone behind I will bring my clothes and put it in a large suitcase.I would get my video games and computer if I can and all my personal belongings.

  14. People can rebuild there houses by us donating money to them and help them actually rebuild the houses or buy those people new houses to live in. I will make sure that every single person in the state of California will have a home and live will family and friends that survived in the fire. I hope that Lulu will stay side in California and not get in a situation where she can and maybe will die. Btw I hope she’s safe!!!!

  15. A community can rebuild with the help of others that donate. They also can rebuild if they raise money for their community.

    Others can raise money and donate. They also can come and help replace things and build up parts of houses.

    I would wet the ground and houses when the fire got near. I would also pack and help others pack. I would help evacuate animals. I would take with me, my favorite items and animals of course but also move any wood items that would burn.

  16. You can help rebuild communitys by donating money to popular organizations. You can also get a bunch of your friends together and support some people you might know in California.

    A community can rebuild after a fire by giving other people some food if the lost their money or can't afford it.

    I would respond to wild fires by evacuating, bringing my pets if I had any, and things that were important to me like old pictures, some food and a fresh pair of clothes.

  18. I think I know one way we could help wild fires, I think we could use some left over pieces and try to rebuild new houses. Others could donate for more pieces or money just to make a new looking house that you don't have to build. What I would bring with me in the wild fire is a fire extinguisher a axe and a case of water a flash light just in case I need to go some where dark. and my bike to ride away from the fire.

  20. The community can first clean up the ashes so they have some building space. Then, the people who have insurance, can get some houses rebuilt and the people who don't will raise a fundraiser. Also, once they have the houses up they can plant plants, tend to the wounded and bury the dead.

    Others can put money into the fundraiser and also help build the houses. It will be hard but with help from others in town, they can hopefully get it done. I can't imagine starting over with the thought that the new town could burn down again one day.

    Well, I would get out of town soon and I would bring my brother, and parents. I would bring a set of extra clothes, and my blanket, and I would bring a phone in case we would have to call the insurance company or something. I would bring what I could carry of my special things.

  23. I also think people should conduct meetings,and decide if they should go or stay and rebuild.I would evacuate as fast as possible,maybe on a plane. I would take the most important things,like food, water, cloths, and more things, maybe.

  24. A community could rebuild after a devastating tragedy like a fire by contacting a person who is rich like a governor and asking for help to rebuild house,farms,etc. Others can help to help communities by going and seeing what people who were affected by the fire needed and get them to shelter. If I lived in wildfire zones i would respond to it by contacting my family and seeing were we would go to get shelter. I would take my beach cruiser,pets,clothing,food,sleeping bags,cooking pans and utensils, and a tent.

    People that don't live in wildfire zones can help by giving things like clothes food toys and building supplies.
