Muck fires are underground fires that kill citrus trees or other plants. Farmers use these muck fires to their advantage, by using them to kill their crops and therefore having new and/or more seeds to grow to make more money off of.
Muck fires are underground fires under a layer of duff in marshy areas. Muck fires are started when lightning strikes the ground and starts to burn. THEY ARE MAINLY IN Florida
A peice of Poop that has been eaten by a crazy little migit and then digested through his/her mouth. Then it is smushed down by a foot or a hand and eaten as a delicacy.
A muck fire is a fire that burns underground. This is started by lightning and other things.
when lighting strikes lignite, it starts a muck fire. muck fires can't be extinguished by water.
For two to three weeks or even longer.
A muck fire occurs when muck, a soil made up from peat in dried-out swamplands, catches fire underground. These fires can burn nonstop until reaching a water source.
it affeact them by slowing them down and makes them less strong

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.
Yes. Anywhere there is a swamp. Underground fires or "Muck" ignites from burning brush above and from lightning strikes. Enough oxygen penetrates the parched, loosely packed peat moss, causing underground embers to smolder for weeks. The muck can cook and kill roots, causing trees to topple. After their leaves dry out, they kindle more brush fires. Organic muck is soil rich in carbon-based compounds from dead plants and organisms.
The term "muck fire" is a compound noun, with the noun fire modified by the noun muck as a noun adjunct (attributive noun).
lightning can start a muck fire if there is a natural resource in the ground where it strikes

Yes.

In the book "Tangerine," the perfect conditions for the muck fire were the combination of hot, dry weather, the decomposing organic matter in the muck soil, and the lack of rain to help contain or extinguish the fire.
Firefighters are able to stop a muck fire when the rain comes. The rain seeps into the ground to put out the fire. Or the fire runs into a lake.
smoke and fire
No, but you can slow it down with fire breaks and keeping the surrounding areas clear of dead brush, alert a local FD and let them handle the rest of the job. NEVER try to contain a muck fire alone. The cause of them is lightning storms, the lightning will strike the ground and cause the fire, but it strikes in a marsh type area, thus it being a muck fire, the muck underground is flammable, and it smolders. That's what causes the smoke in the air. Muck fires are DANGEROUS!
