Drought affects wild fires because everything is dry and there is not water or moisture in the air to help keep the ground or plants from dying off. It also causes a problem for the fire fighters in the way that they have to travel farther away to get the water they need to work the fire.

Conservationists may set controlled forest fires, known as prescribed burns, to mimic natural ecological processes such as clearing underbrush, promoting new growth, and reducing the risk of larger, more destructive wildfires. These controlled fires can help improve the health of the forest ecosystem and benefit certain plant and animal species.

Some modern forest management practices include removing dead brush from forests; this is bad policy for the ecological processes at work.

The most important things you can do are to take care with any kind of fire you use. If you're camping or grilling in an area with a high risk for wildfire, keep your fire small, do not leave it unattended, and extinguish it completely when you are done with it. Many roadside fires are started by careless smokers flicking lit cigarettes out their windows; either don't smoke or use the ash tray inside your car (good policies even if you aren't just trying to prevent forest fires).

With these preventions in mind, keep in mind that most wildfires are started by lightning.

Small forest fires, also known as controlled burns, are used to remove excess fuel such as dead vegetation and undergrowth that can lead to larger, more intense fires. By reducing the amount of fuel available, it helps to create a buffer zone that can prevent the spread of large fires and make them easier to contain. Controlled burns are a proactive approach to managing fire risk and promoting healthier forest ecosystems.

When it comes to the environment's health, they aren't. But some people think that they need to clear the land in order to build things, so in that case, in some peoples' perspective, they can be good.

tree planting to increase area under forests, care of trees already planted, protection of trees from insects and pests, free distribution of saplings, preventing illegal felling of trees, planting trees on hillslopes and wastelands

1) Forest fires can occur due to lightening which burns the trees but rain after it extinguishes fire causing less damage to the trees.

2) Fire needs oxygen, fuel and heat to start. Oxygen is present all around in the air, wood of the trees act as fuel and heat does not allow the fire to extinguish. At a temperature of 572 degree wood releases a gas that reacts with oxygen present in air and triggers a flame which will give heat to the surrounding woods and the fire will start growing more and more strong. This can also happen in the cold days.

3) Earthquake is also responsible for the forest fires. In 1906 earthquake in San Francisco causes fire. Other reason for fire is volcanoes and drought.

4) High temperature and low humidity (dryness) provides favorable conditions to the fire and hence it can start

This is not answerable. You need to narrow it down a bit. Are you talking about a campfire, house fire, cooking fire, forest fire, chemical fire, St Elmos fire, electrical fire, nuclear fire?

A star is pretty hot and may be the hottest fire.

Magnesium burning is really hot.

A nuclear bomb produces a lot of heat.

its a natural course of recycling nutrients into the soil. slash and burn is bad because they overdue it for farming, but say there was a natural fire in some forest caused by lightning... i wouldn't say its very beneficial but its not a bad thing because the trees and plants there will turn into nutrient rich ash which would be absorbed by the soil and new trees and plants would grow in their places. so it could be considered helpful to promote new life of the plants and what not but think about what it would do to all the animals inhabiting that area =X

Recent fires blamed on negligence include the Camp Fire in California in 2018 caused by PG&E's equipment failure, and the Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017 due to faulty building materials and poor safety oversight.

over 3 million!!!!!!!!!!! its very sad right!

The main causes of forest fires in Manitoba include lightning strikes, human activities such as campfires left unattended or improperly extinguished, and industrial activities like logging and heavy equipment use. Dry and windy weather conditions can also contribute to the spread of wildfires in the region.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as the data can vary from year to year and by region. However, thousands of people die worldwide each year due to forest fires, with some of the deadliest incidents occurring in countries like Australia, the United States, and Portugal.

The Ballyntynes fire was a tragic event where a fire broke out at Ballyntynes department store in 1979 in Dublin, Ireland. The fire claimed the lives of 48 people and left many others injured. It was one of the deadliest fires in Irish history and led to significant changes in fire safety regulations in Ireland.

Forest fires have numerous benefits for plants and animals because they increase diversity. In the process of forest succession, in which bare rock may be converted into mature forests over a long time, certain plants and animals are better adapted to exploiting certain circumstances along that continuum. In fact, there are certain plants and animals that require fires to survive and reproduce.

A mature forest requires plants to be shade tolerant, and food is actually quite scarce for most animals. An early successional forest benefits plants that require more sunlight to survive, and promotes the growth of plants that grow and spread quickly. As the forest regrows, its character changes and different plants and animals come and go to exploit the situation that suits them best. Without fires, if everything tended toward mature forest, many plants and animals would have a more difficult time surviving.

There is also a complicated web of nutrients that are recycled by way of a forest fire.

Forest fires can be caused by natural factors like lightning strikes, as well as human activities such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, arson, or machinery sparks. Drought, high temperatures, and strong winds can increase the likelihood of wildfires spreading quickly.

Forest fires occur in regions with dense vegetation, dry conditions, and high temperatures. These areas are often prone to wildfires due to factors such as lightning strikes, human activities, or accumulation of flammable materials. Forest fires can occur in various parts of the world, including North America, Australia, South America, and parts of Asia and Europe.

Small wildfires have numerous benefits. One is that a series of small fires over a long period of time prevents a devastating large wildfire from occurring. One of the reasons we have a lot of damaging large wildfires today is because for most of the last century, the school of thought was to immediately put out any forest fires. Suppressing natural fires for long can cause just one devastating fire to build up.

Wildfires convert old growth forests into newer growth. Old growth coniferous forests have a thick canopy and little sunlight reaches the forest floor. With little sunlight hitting the forest floor, not many plants can survive there. Consequently there is little food for animals to eat, and relatively few animals live in such an environment. A fire breaks down the canopy and allows the sunlight through, and new growth of numerous plants that could not survive in the shade grow in the sunny environment. Those plants attract animals that feed on them. New growth starts emerging within a couple days after a fire. A month after a fire in a place like a grassland, almost all organic material is new living biomass as opposed to detritus.

There are also plants that are adapted and even depend on periodic fires. This type of natural disturbance to an ecosystem is essential to the savanna and chaparral biomes. Some plants' seeds will only germinate after a hot fire, and fire-resistant roots will allow them to sprout quickly while using nutrients released during the fire. Fire-adapted plants can reach extinction with humans suppressing periodic fires, usually caused by lightning-- that is until an uncontrollable forest fire develops.

It is important to recognize that a forest fire does not consume the trees; the outside burns, but the dead wood is left standing there for sometimes decades. These dead trees provide excellent food source for certain insects (and the animals that eat them), and great habitat for small mammals and birds. Some animals actually favor freshly-burned areas. Black-backed woodpeckers only live in freshly burned stands of trees, for example.

trow your mom on it her fattness will put it out

don't listen to this and whoever wrote this is probley been reported a lots i have no answer to that but to put out a muck fire is u soak the ground before it happens and around it so if it startes it doesn't go anywhere i have looked this all up and so this is the correct answer

The largest forest fires in the world's _recorded_ history would be the 1997-98 Indonesian forest fires. though the fires after the hypothesised meteorite falling in the Mexico gulf probably released enough energy to start volcanoes and forest fires throughout all the continents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1997_Indonesian_forest_fires

the Indonesian fire burned on and off for 2 years. the biggest single fire was in Queensland, Australia. started on the 1/11/74 and burned throughout the Thargomindah, Bulloo Shire, Boulia Urandangie, McKinlay Shire. it burnt around 7,300,000ha.

There are several forests in Cumbria, including Whinlatter Forest, Grizedale Forest, and Ennerdale Forest. Each forest has unique features and offers opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching.

That depends on the size of the fire.

If it is in a fireplace or woodstove, there is a mechanism that rotates a cylinder (with slots and orange, yellow and red gels) around a lightbulb to produce the effect of contained flame.

If the fire is to be much larger, the same effect can be obtained by throwing this light across a longer distance. Of course the apparatus would need to be larger, if not physically, then in terms of wattage. Or two sets of gels, each cut to represent flames but different in shape from each other, could be placed side by side and rapidly and alternately lit, to achieve the appearance of fire. This works especially well if the gels are fanned to make them move and flicker.

There are many other ways to produce this affect. But, however it is produced, don't forget the smoke machine.

Smoke contains particles and chemicals that can directly irritate your eyes, causing them to become red, itchy, and watery. On the other hand, fog is simply a cloud of water droplets suspended in the air, which is generally harmless to your eyes.
