We interrupt your scheduled viewings for an emergency broadcast"

"One of the biggest disasters to hit Holymonkia in recent history is occuring as I speak. Forest fires are raging in the Telpian Forest in the South West of Holymonkia. Emergency crews are combating the malicious fire but not without loss. According to sources 11 lives have already been lost, 6 of those being firemen sent out to combat the blaze. Officials are unsure of what started the fire stating":

"Even though Holymonkia has suffered a long dry spell, the forests still are able to maintain moisture in the atmosphere so we are not ruling out an arson attack."

" Emergency services are urging people within a 10 kilometre radius to evacuate the area as weather reports indicate the wind is gettting stronger and so the fire will spread further. Let us cross over to Palace House where President Davies is holding an emergency summit...."

Palace House

"This isn't good, not at all", thought President Davies. This would be one of his most important speeches and one of the biggest issues he would face in his term in office. He stepped into the Press Room where he was met by a wave of questions. He stepped upto the podium and asked for silence..

"As you all know Holymonkias natural beauty is being damaged to the core. Our emergency services are doing all they can to combat the blaze but it will take time. I want to take this opportunity to call for help from other nations of the world to help combat the blaze as it spreads more and more putting lives at risk. Any questions?"

"Mr President, Jack Trate Holymonkia Observer, what are the causes of this blaze?"

" At the moment we do not know what has caused the blaze but it is being investigated thoroughly as we speak."

"Mr President, Hillary Frade, Express, what if this turns out to be an arson attack?"

"If this is an arson attack then whoever is responsible will pay the consequences for their actions. Okay enough questions, this needs to be sorted out."

Arson!

As fires still rage in the Telpian Forest in the South West, officials claim that the fire was started deliberatly but the suspects are unknown. This latest breakthrough comes a day after the Presisdent promised that " responsible will pay the consequences for their actions." Officials have not released the nature of the items found but they confirm that the items were used to start the fire.

The area where the items were found are in an area of Telpian Forest which is under protection and is off limits to the public without due cause. There are questions being asked such as, was it done by someone working for the Forest Protection Agency, or was security not tight enough allowing the arsonists to enter unnoticed. Scientisst also claim that the smoke and gases being released into the amosphere will have a large impact on the weather in Holymonkia and surrounding nations. The death count of this emergency has now risen to 30 and emergency services are telling people who live within 20km of where the current blaze is to leave due to the stronger winds which are fanning the flames.
