How can you help prevent forest fires?

Answer 1

Some modern forest management practices include removing dead brush from forests; this is bad policy for the ecological processes at work.

The most important things you can do are to take care with any kind of fire you use. If you're camping or grilling in an area with a high risk for wildfire, keep your fire small, do not leave it unattended, and extinguish it completely when you are done with it. Many roadside fires are started by careless smokers flicking lit cigarettes out their windows; either don't smoke or use the ash tray inside your car (good policies even if you aren't just trying to prevent forest fires).

With these preventions in mind, keep in mind that most wildfires are started by lightning.

Most fire fighting authorities produce some sort of literature that focus on fire prevention, at home, at work, on the farm, in the bush. A lot of it is focussed at children.

People living in bush fire prone areas are specifically targetted and are encouraged to keep vegetation like grass away from their homes, avoid trees overhanging the house or being anywhere near the house, keep the gutters clear of dead leaves, be prepared during the summer months, and to have an evacuation plan.

Farmers would be encouraged to do all of the same things and plough fire breaks.

There are several government departments responsible for land management and performing fuel reduction burning off.

As part of the fallout from the Australian Ash Wednesday bushfires and the ensuing Royal Commission and Inquiry, a great many laws were changed and others introduced to force municipal councils and home owners to take more responsibility for their own protection in the event of bushfires.

The Country Fire Authority of Victoria is a great advocate of fire prevention and a visit to their site could be helpful (refer to the link below).

Answer 3

Don't smoke or throw a cigarette or cigar on the ground, and if you're camping don't leave the fire unattended. (Before you leave, make sure the fire pit is not only not burning, but that it is completely cold.) Around your home, remove any piles of burnable debris.
