Yoel Wazana’s Concerns Regarding California Wildfires

Yoel Wazana is the president and founder of Micro Solutions Enterprise. Started in 1994, he had a unique vision to create a business that remanufactured toners and cartridges. 

You could say that this vision is an environmentally-friendly one. Yoel Wazana cares deeply about all issues regarding the environment, such as wildfires that are currently impacting California—especially because Micro Solutions Enterprise is located in Van Nuys, which is in Los Angeles. 

Although wildfires do not usually start until late summer, Southern California has been experiencing them already.  Areas such as the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Coast Highway have been affected. In fact, eight miles of land on the Pacific Coast Highway was closed down.

Wildfires can be started by man or nature. Lightning strikes, the heat, campfires, smoking, and other reasons can cause them.  

Since Southern California tends to be a dry part of the state, many wildfires occur there. When combined with the wind, some of the worst wildfires can happen. 

Recent wildfires in the Ventura County area forced thousands of homes to evacuate. Schools and businesses were also affected and had to evacuate as well. 

Californian fire fighters have been doing their best to prevent these wildfires. At one point during the recent outbreak of wildfires, firefighters had to make sure that the naval base at Point Mugu did not catch flames. 

In an effort to prevent future wildfires, the U.S. Forest Service plans to provide seven air tankers. These will be bigger and faster planes used to tackle the flames occurring in the West before they happen. 

Yoel Wazana is grateful that measures are being taken to prevent the harmful wildfires spreading in Southern California. His state and his company mean a good deal to him; if there are less wildfires in California, then there will be overall safer living and working conditions for the region.
