So i don't really write my own posts in here, but the situation here is getting worse so i felt like i had to something.

We need help. These wildfires ( which there are 125 of them and although majority of them are contained major ones are still going and getting bigger) destroyed some many land, people and animals. We are doing everything we can but our goverment is inefficent at best and actively sabotaging the efforts at worst.

I hope that when you see this post, you'll continue to spread it. Forest fires hurt every single one of us, not just the region the forest belongs to.
