In the book "Tangerine," the perfect conditions for the muck fire were the combination of hot, dry weather, the decomposing organic matter in the muck soil, and the lack of rain to help contain or extinguish the fire.
Firefighters are able to stop a muck fire when the rain comes. The rain seeps into the ground to put out the fire. Or the fire runs into a lake.
smoke and fire
No, but you can slow it down with fire breaks and keeping the surrounding areas clear of dead brush, alert a local FD and let them handle the rest of the job. NEVER try to contain a muck fire alone. The cause of them is lightning storms, the lightning will strike the ground and cause the fire, but it strikes in a marsh type area, thus it being a muck fire, the muck underground is flammable, and it smolders. That's what causes the smoke in the air. Muck fires are DANGEROUS!
