As a result of the action of the elements, several acres and hectares with avocado trees were burned, it is practically impossible to restore the culture, lands for its cultivation after a fire may be unsuitable for this fruit. Experts estimated that because of the disaster more than $ 400 million was lost from possible sales. The state promised to compensate business executives for their losses by issuing loans at a minimum interest to restore the culture.

It is noteworthy that more than 90 percent of all American avocados are grown in California. The contribution of this business to the economy is estimated at millions of dollars.

As reported in "URA-Inform", recently in California, a local resident rescued a wild rabbit from a fire.
