Legionnaires' disease diagnosed with the disease and five of them dying from it. In Quincy, Illinois, at the Illinois Veterans home, a 2015 outbreak of the disease killed 12 people and sickened more than 50 others. It was believed to be caused by infected water supply. Three more cases have been identified as of November 2017. In the fall of 2017, 22 cases were reported in a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Anaheim, CA's Disneyland theme park. It was believed to have been caused by a cooling tower that releases mist for the comfort of visitors. The contaminated droplets likely spread to the
Spread Component scale; it has no upper limit. Spread Component Spread Component (SC) (as used in the National Fire Danger Rating System) is a rating of the forward rate of spread of a headfire. Deeming states that "the spread component is numerically equal to the theoretical ideal rate of spread expressed in feet-per-minute." This carefully worded statement indicates both guidelines (theoretical) and cautions (ideal) that must be used when applying the spread component. Wind speed, slope, and fine fuel moisture are key inputs in the calculations of the spread component, thus accounting for a high variability from day to day. The spread
