Bushfires affect people in many ways.
- Widespread bushfire smoke coverage causes breathing difficulties and exacerbates Asthma. Elderly people who rely on ventilation machines are especially affected.
- The smoke of bushfires causes a fine layer of ash over everything. This is impossible to clean.
- Thick smoke reduces visibility, so there is a greater risk of traffic accidents. This is made worse by the general fear and panic as people ignore safe evacuation plans and try to flee.
- Bushfires can kill. People must then deal with the loss of their friends and family.
- Bushfires can raze businesses and destroy crops and stock animals, leading to enormous financial losses.
- When bushfires destroy homes, there is a huge sense of loss, as important papers, documents, photographs, heirlooms and general memorabilia are gone forever. Beloved pets are lost. Even the loss of a favourite toy is huge thing for a child.
- The smell of a bushfire can last for weeks and even months. It is a continual reminder of what has been lost.

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! :'(
