Smoke from the fire in Becker, MN
People of Becker seem to think differently. Many are taking their complaints to social media about the recent change in air quality. Some of these complaints have seemed as if the people only cared about themselves and not the many people fighting the fires.
One person brought to Facebook her thoughts on the fire. She stated that it takes “nerve” for people to be so selfish when people are risking their lives and making those people look bad on social media. The picture she posted was of a firefighter standing in cold water while fighting the fires.
After this post many have been bringing their thanks to social media rather than complaining. At first, most people saw the fire an automatically thought of themselves. Now people are seeing the good and the hard work first responders are doing to try and control this the best they can. All because one person finally spoke up on social media. Majority of people will go along with others say, So be the voice that stands out and gets others thinking.
