| Description: | Fanned by hot, dry winds, forest fires rage through 9 western states, bringing wide destruction. Los Angeles County is declared a disaster area as it battles the worst fire outbreak in its history. Home (house) beside a swimming pool burns, completely ablaze. There is no hope of saving this house. POV - Looking up there's a telephone or electric line pole (utility pole) on fire. Camera is panning - A destroyed forest there is nothing standing except burned trees which are still smoldering. There are still hot spots where you can still see fires burning there is nothing left of the forest just complete devastation and destruction. | |
