There are some places where you can expect wildfires. In California, fires burn from 50,000 to 500,000 acres of land every year. Some of the plants A_______________________ have oily sap. They can survive the dry, hot summers, but if they catch fire they explode into flame. Grasses grow thick during the spring rains and then die. They dry into a thick layer of straw B_______________________, making a very hot fire.

On the worst day of fire, more than 600 square kilometers of forest burned. Clouds of smoke E_______________________ rose into the atmosphere. Smoke blocked the sun and drifted far beyond the park.
