Put It Out Poem by Ray Hansell

Man against fire what a fight
This battle will last more then a night

Intense heat all around
As tree's are burning to the ground

Hoses, shovels and even planes
Try to stop the spreading flames

They're trying to stop a forest fire
But the flames just keep leaping higher

One thousand people have battled this blaze
To stop this fire it took sixteen days

Make sure you put out that flame
Or, other wise you could be the blame
