Re: “Point Fire prompts evacuations in Sonoma County, burns 1,100 acres” (June 16).
I am saddened to learn that the Point Fire is one of 11 wildfires currently burning in California, already consuming 1,100 acres of land. This news reporting has highlighted the severe impact of the wildfire on the community and the extensive damage inflicted on nearby residents.
Although we are still early in the summer dry season, I appreciate Robert Salonga’s efforts in raising awareness about wildfires. Now I know that there are steps citizens can take to mitigate such disasters, such as burning less wood. His timely message is crucial in encouraging the community to adopt heightened preventive measures, which can help avert future tragedies.
