Some birds may fly away from forest fires if they sense danger and are able to escape in time. However, birds that are slower or unable to fly may have a harder time escaping from rapidly spreading fires. Additionally, some birds may seek shelter in bodies of water or other safe areas until the fire passes.

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! :'(


Are forest fires a bad thing?

they are killing most of your trees and that takes away our air so if the forest fire keeps going we are not goin to have trees or plants to give us air so we die.


How do forest fires help in germination?

some seeds found in the Chapparal have adapted their outer coat (Testa) to be able to be penetrated only after scorched by fire. after a forest fire, the protective layer may weaken, making it easier for the Radical (future stem) to puncture it and begin to grow.


Is it true that forest fires allow new plants to grow?

No, a forest fire does not allow new plants to grow since when a forest fire breaks out, the effects can be terrible. Wildlife is destroyed and driven out by the flames and heat. After the forest fire, the forest appears completely different. The plants and trees have now turned into charcoal, smoke and ash. We have to wait for centuries for the new plants to grow and replace the old forest.


Would a forest fire increase or decrease the probability of a mass movement of birds and animals away from that area?

Birds and animals flee from forest fires. However, often they cannot outrun the fire and often, animals have to compete with humans to access routes out of the fire zone. For example, in the 2016 Canadian forest fire, videos taken by drivers fleeing the fire also show 4-legged animals racing alongside the road. Small game with tunnels underground will try those routes to escape, but can be overcome by heat or smoke. Many small game such as rabbits might survive, but have burnt paws and underbellies. Overall, the death toll can be staggering for insects, birds, small game, and large wildlife.

How is a forest fire bad for the forest?

Forest fires cover large patches of forests and they burn the biomass both plant and animal that come in the way. Fires burn away the fertile humus layer of soil and make the soil barren. Burning of biomass releases carbon dioxide leading to global warming. Forest fires leave a lot of smoke choking nearby settlements . The burnt areas give a bad aesthetic look. The debris gets washed into our water sources and pollutes them

How can a forest fire have both beneficial and harmful changes?

Some plants depend on the effects of a fire to survive and some fires burn away dead material that allows for healthier regrowth. But forest fires are extremely hard to contain due to the dry climate and the thousands of trees and plants providing fuel for the fire to burn

Why was it important for people to get evacuated?

People are evacuated to get them away from dangerous situations. In World War 2, children were evacuated away from London to the countryside. People in the line of large forest fires, or near leaking gas mains are evacuated to safety.
