Discussion questions:
Discussion questions:
- Essential question: Why are wildfires such a significant problem?
- What are a few key events that usually take place when a wildfire breaks out close to where people live?
- Before the government in ancient Rome created public fire departments, wealthy patricians had their own private fire crews. (They would lend these crews to the public at a price, negotiating with the property owner as his home continued to burn.) Were you surprised to hear that there are private fire crews for hire in California?
- Media literacy question: Given the wildfires location to many news outlets in Los Angeles, media coverage has been significant. Climate scientists report that such attention, despite the difficult circumstances, is a positive thing. Why do you think this is the case?
