“Santa Barb-eque”

The Santa Barabara area was hit by wildfires that began yesterday (Wednesday), with over 13,000 people evacuated from over 5400 homes. Making matters worse, despite hours of news agencies’ continuous video footage, no celebrities at all were seen.

Governor Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency, as wind fanned the flames too high and to hot to even attempt a containment lines. Since it was too dangerous for firefighters to do anything, the governor also decided to save state emergency money and not pay them.

The cause of the fires is unknown and it is too early to know if they will become a more serious threat, so the media has dubbed them ‘swine fires.’
