Hot, Dry Conditions Fuel Florida Fires

!VistaDude:iconVistaDude: reports, 1d 20h ago
As I live in Brevard County in which the fires are burning this is touching really close to home for me. If there are other members here at DA that are close to the fires, my prayers and thoughts go out to each of you.

In closing:

Authorities said the fire at Malabar may have been caused by arson. A witness saw someone in a car drop something into a open field shortly before the blaze began, an arson investigator said.
Further south around the large and shallow Lake Okeechobee, a several hundred-hectare fire continued to blaze along the lakeshore. Local officials said a drought that caused a drop in lake levels had left piles of dead vegetation that was a perfect fuel for wildfires.

For two days, thick smoke from the Okeechobee fire has wafted west over the cities of Fort Myers and Naples, officials said, prompting fears of respiratory problems.

The governor's declaration of a state of emergency frees up extra funding to fight the fires, as well as allowing Florida to call on other states for help.

Several firefighters have been injured so far, officials said.

2008 - Year of the frog

*Claw-Ravenscroft:iconClaw-Ravenscroft: reports, February 21
2008 is decided to be the officially year of the frog beneath some others.
The reason for this is the great extinction of the amphibians because of many reasons. There live many frog species all over the world and they are threatened with extinction. Habitat loss is a significant cause of frog population decline, as are pollutants, climate change, the introduction of non-indigenous predators/competitors, and emerging infectious diseases including chytridiomycosis.
The chytrid fungus is wiping out frog species across the globe, making some scientists worry about a mass amphibian extinction.

To find out more about the year of the frog visit the Amphibian Ark Homepage.

For more informations about frogs there is a very good site. The frog matters blog

And for general informations about frogs the wikipedia articles:
The english wikipedia article about frogs
And the more informative german articles about Frog species and Amphibians generally
