article by
Denver Nicks about wildfire in Southern California:
The latest wildfire that broke out in Carlsbad recently is one of several fires dotting Southern California. At least thirty homes were engulfed in flames, causing thousands of evacuations, including from Legoland, the popular amusement park.
At least fifteen thousand people have been ordered to evacuate their homes in Carlsbad, California, among the towns hardest hit by the wildfires. The Carlsbad fires also forced park officials to shut down Legoland, a local LEGO-themed amusement park.
Cal State San Marcos, a San Diego County college with approximately ten thousand students, and Camp Pendleton, an area Marine Corps base, have also been evacuated.
California Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency after local county officials urged him to do so, as firefighting resources ran thin in the face of spreading fires.
The cause of the fires is not known, but officials say temperatures reaching into the hundreds and the ongoing drought in the region make the area ripe for wildfires.
Two firefighters have been injured fighting the blazes, one with a heat-related injury and another due to smoke inhalation.
Rico says oh, no, not
Legoland... (But this is getting far too close to
Rico's father's place in
La Jolla.)
