Tire Fire
There was a tire fire here recently and it was so terrible. The smoke was huge and black and I imagined that it had to be a totally bad thing that the smoke was going into the sky. It smelled so terrible and I just hated it!
There should be some kind of fine for places like this who have fires. I am sure that there is some kind of accident that triggered this fire, but when it is something that could be harmful to anyone who breathes it in there should be an extra penalty for carelessness. Anything having to do with chemical spills or gas leaks should be fined because they are putting people and the environment at risk. I know that the tire place did not want to have a fire, but I bet that there are more preventative measures that they could have taken to ensure that this kind of thing would not happen.
If there is a hefty fine hanging over businesses minds then they might do everything in their power not to waste their profits on fines. That is just an idea that I have that would probably never be put into place because the companies are taxpayers too, and they matter more than the average person when it comes to government.
