Preventing wildfires is a great concern due to the population in the US and moving into areas that are known for having wildfires. Also the statistics on wildfire from when they where first recorded to now have started to burn more acres then ever before. Meaning that homes, people, and animals are being trapped and killed in the fire or lose there homes. This also is a great concern for smoke inhalation which can be harmful for miles. The ash is also harmful to people and animals. Also where a wildfire has burned it causes more concern for flooding and land slides. All these together are a great reason why everyone should do there part in preventing wildfires.
