How does a forest fire affect people?
Forest fires have many effects on people, both direct and indirect. Usually, when forest fires spread they threaten to spread to nearby towns, which can burn them down. Fires also give off a lot of carbon monoxide, which can later cause acid rain. Forest fires also destroy animal's natural habitats, which kills animals and disrupts the food chain, which may later have an effect on people. Forest fires also can destroy tree farms, which are valuable sources of lumber and paper for people. Lastly, forest fires destroy the beautiful natural wilderness, so later no people can enjoy the beauty of nature! :'(

Are forest fires a bad thing?
they are killing most of your trees and that takes away our air so if the forest fire keeps going we are not goin to have trees or plants to give us air so we die.
Would a forest fire increase or decrease the probability of a mass movement of birds and animals away from that area?
Birds and animals flee from forest fires. However, often they cannot outrun the fire and often, animals have to compete with humans to access routes out of the fire zone. For example, in the 2016 Canadian forest fire, videos taken by drivers fleeing the fire also show 4-legged animals racing alongside the road. Small game with tunnels underground will try those routes to escape, but can be overcome by heat or smoke. Many small game such as rabbits might survive, but have burnt paws and underbellies. Overall, the death toll can be staggering for insects, birds, small game, and large wildlife.

The debris gets washed into our water sources and pollutes them
