Vice/Sloth This piece is about the aftermath of the Malibu fires a few months ago. Many animals and people lost their homes and some lost their lives. It cost the city and the firefighters a great deal in time, resources, effort and dilligence to put them out. The fires were caused by person or persons' uncaring, laziness; an illegal campfire, a group of young party-goers; and a laissez-faire attitude regarding about "the last person to leave, must turn out the campfire."
