Supposedly, I was going to do a reaction on the earthquake that hit Churchill and other parts of New Zealand a few days ago, but then I came across this article about the recent fire in San Bruno, California. The fire apparently started from a blast of a broken gas line that sent flames through over 50 houses, and the numbers are increasing as the fire spreads through the neighborhood. A lot were shocked as the blast could be heard from miles away and the fire soared through the sky. So far, only 1 death has been reported but many lost their homes and belongings. It was still unclear how long it took to control the fire but they were still at it for half a day and between 100 and 200 firemen were at the scene to control the inferno.
Its times like these that you really have to be prepared for the worst. Knowing that fire fighters acted quickly to extinguish the blaze it still took then a lot of time, if you think about it what if emergency cases like these happens in the Philippines, are we ready to act quickly? Are we equipped for the job? Do we have enough workforce to help out the public in times like these? These are the question that I ask for it is better that we are prepared than having to face the consequences thereon.
