Muck fires also known as swamp fires are extremely dangerous. They can just spontaneously com-busts or be started by a lightening strike. They normal occur in the late winter to early spring when weather conditions are at their driest. But because it is a swamp there is still moisture in the ground which helps with decomposition of the plant life. The process does produce heat, and this is how it spontaneously com-bust. The fires are underground in which makes the ground unstable and with the burning of a forest trees root system it will make a tree fall. Because of this it is impossible for firefighters to bring in their firefighting equipment. When a muck fire first starts it will smolder for days until it finally ignites. Muck fires can burn for up to a year or longer.
