Forest fire

Today I was supposed to go to our most popular eco-reserve to train (at a walk) over uneven ground, but yesterday a forest fire began there, putting the whole reserve at risk. Several years ago, the reserve was practically consumed by a fire but was restored at huge expense; it is a haven for black bears, among other species. The fire is visible from my front porch. If someone started this fire in a burst of vandalism, may he burn in Hell. Meanwhile, I'll cross-train today and hope the fire can be contained. Otherwise, people are going to have black bears in their back yards soon. It's happened before.
