Weekly Post 8

This story was absolutely heart wrenching to read. I cannot imagine going through what Chris Tofte and his family went through during this. It is devastating to hear about a personal story of the effects that these wildfires have had. There are many ways I could use social media to help the Tofte family…

Klein Weekly Post #8

I think the best way social media can help a family like the Toftes when they’re in a life threatening situation in the future could be to form and communicate an solid evacuation plan with other people living nearby to keep them all safe. It’s clear the Toftes didn’t know what to do when…

Weekly Post Eight

The story of the Tofte family is heartbreaking, especially because it is apparent that they are not the only ones to go through this. With wildfire spread across the U.S., many families are in dire need of help and resources.

Weekly Post #8

In the story, “A desperate rescue: A father’s heartbreaking attempt to save his family from a raging fire” from Salem Stateman Journal by Capi Lynn the story is saddening from start to finish. Wildfires are something I am very aware of, as most people are who live in Colorado. They can cause real…

JMS 215 Weekly Post #8

The Beachie Creek Fire story demonstrated the physical and emotional damage a massive wildfire can cause to a group of people. The Tofte family did not deserve to go through all the pain and suffering they were forced to endure. It was a heartbreaking story to read. How does a family ever…

Week 8: Beachie Creek Fire

When it comes to helping the Tofte family get though this trying time, I would create a donation page on Facebook with links and a video to help emphasise the need for an immediate help. The links I would use would be directly related to fire relief programs such as redcross.org…

Weekly Post 8

While I was reading the story about Beachie Creek and the Tofte family, I was heartbroken. I felt all kinds of emoitons for the dad and was so happy to find out he found his wife, and then I was sad to hear about her condition. Then I felt hope because I thought that there may be a chance that the son…

Beachie Creek Fire

The story of the Tofte family is tragic, to say the least. In an effort to save his family, he lost his son and his mother-in-law to a devastating weather event. This story made my heart heavy for those involved in the Beachie Creek Fire and I hope that this event has sparked a change in the…

Grieving on Social Media

While reading about the devastating Beachie Creek Fire in Oregon that started back in August and about the Tofte Family’s scary evacuation story, I was in disbelief. The fact that the fire moved so quickly giving the family literally no time to evacuate at all came as a surprise to…

Weekly Post 8

Firstly, I am thankful that you and your family didn’t have to endure that kind of travesty. I can’t imagine what it must be like to never know when a fire may strike. It’s the kind of story you wouldn’t wish upon your worst enemy.

Beachie Creek Fire Response

When I was reading this article, it made me sad and I truly felt that my heart was breaking for this family. I personally do not like reading articles like this. At first, it made my heartbreak for the father looking for his family but it hurts for the entire family. It made me…

Beachie Creek Fire

While reading this story I was heartbroken for the family and how hard this most have been for Chris to see. Its terrible that he blames himself for not being able to go past the barrier and there are so many questions that's still arise in this case and it must be terrible. Why did Wyatt go…

The story of the Beachie Creek fire was super sad. While reading it I had so many emotions. I was so scared while reading about Wyatt, the son, and the dog. I just wanted them to be okay wherever they were. I felt loneliness for the father, Chris, since he had no idea where his son was while a fire was…
