Because the easiest and safest fire to control is the one that hasn't started yet.
A change in community compositions because fires are natural disturbances that maintain the community structure
Managing forest fires through controlled burns and fire prevention measures can help prevent damage to ecosystems and communities, reduce the risk of future catastrophic fires, and promote forest regeneration. Neglecting forest fire management can lead to more severe fires, loss of biodiversity, and increased risks to human lives and properties in the future.
"Fire science" is the name of a college degree in which a student learns about fire, avoiding fire, putting out fire and investigating the origins of fires.
Fires are relatively common occurrences globally, with wildfires being more prevalent in specific regions prone to dry conditions or lightning strikes. Human-caused fires can also be quite common in urban areas or areas with heavy industrial activity. Proper fire prevention and management strategies are crucial in reducing the frequency and impact of fires.
Smokey Bear, a mascot created by the United States Forest Service, is known for the phrase "Only you can prevent forest fires." The campaign was launched in the 1940s to raise awareness about the importance of fire prevention in the forests.

Fire prevention guidelines vary according to the type of fires you might expect, where they are located, and what steps are taken to extinguish them.For example, fire prevention in a forest is very different from fire prevention in a petrol filling station.However, as a general rule, "prevention" includesthe recognition of potential fire hazardstaking steps to reduce or eliminate the hazardseducating people about fire safetyproviding a way to put out or limit a firemaking sure everyone can get out of the danger zone safelyNever leave a fire unattendedStart all fires with newspaper or another highly flammable objectExtinguish all fires and burning coals or embers with water or dirt
