Forest Fires

Brush fires occur in various environments, typically in areas with abundant dry vegetation, such as grasslands, forests, and scrublands. They are most common in regions with hot, dry climates, especially during dry seasons or drought conditions. Additionally, human activities like campfires, discarded cigarettes, or equipment use can ignite these fires, which can spread rapidly in windy conditions. Areas prone to brush fires include parts of the western United States, Australia, and Mediterranean regions.

There is a ton of stuff to know about fire fighting. This business (or profession) is overflowing with technical information that the fire fighter must know, and there are a zillion practical skills that the fire fighter must have. His life and the lives of his fellow fire fighters depend on the knowledge and skill of the fire fighter. There is a fitness standard necessary for qualification and for safety. And physical training is a part of continued qualification. Some people thrive on the "rush" of code 3 work, and they get a "contact high" at the danger. These have to be managed so the fire fighter remains a part of both the team and the solution to a situation, and not slip over to the "dark side" and become part of the problem. There is a "fair" pay scale for these jobs, and benefits are usually fairly good. But competition for the jobs is fierce. There may be hundreds of applicants for a half dozen positions in a big city department. Use the links below to Wikipedia articles where you can find lots of additional information.

Muck is slimy mud, or something which makes something dirty. It is also an obsolete, derogatory term for money.

Capitan Gap fire happened in 1950.

One material is called Foscheck. It's made up up of 85% water, 10% fertilizer (ammonia phosphate and sulfate ions), and 5% other ingredients (iron oxide for color, clay, or bentonite). It works by coating everything with the sticky moist mixture. It is colored red to make it easy to spot from both the ground and the air.

The Waldo Canyon fire burned 18,247 acres. It began 4 miles northwest of Colorado Springs and moved rapidly into the city itself

They don't affect forests much at all if they are made safely and responsibly and according to local rules and laws. When set fires get out of hand, they can cause the destruction of large areas of forest.

Two Fires was created in 1990-09.

My 190e now has 84000 on the clock.The only major work was the battery tray rusted away causing an MOT failure. These cars are "SOLID" at least from my experience. I am 400 miles away from 200,000 miles and it still runs like a top! I have done general maintenence, Belt, Gaskets, Spark Plugs, Brake Pads, and Spark Plug wires. Only kind of "major" work I've done was replaced the Water Pump, and replaced the Alternater, and Alignment. All I can say is my car is a TANK as I refer to it. LOL Keep changing the oil regularly and these cars should last a LONG TIME! Yes! These cars are tanks and shuould last well over 200K MILES ONLY if they are well maintained. I have seen some 190s with close to 350K miles and yet others in pretty bad shape just after 60K miles. The 190D on the other hand (especially the 2.2 liter) is indestructable. I love these old cars - they are an icon of an era when craftmanship and durability were still valuable. If the car keeps running I would encourage anyone to do general maintenence to keep it going. However, I would give up on a car after my three strike rule - three consecutive $500+ repairs within 1 year or 15K miles. But for most of us, we dump money into these cars because we love them, not because it makes any rational financial sense!

Ycuá Bolaños supermarket fire happened on 2004-08-01.

Carb? Float stuck and flooding engine Remove air cleaner and observe '92 SR5 3VZ-E's are EFI. It Could Be running rich. Check your plugs (and while you're there, clean them with a wire brush, make sure the gap is .031 and that all the wires are connected properly). If they're gummed up and smell gassy, it could be an indication that your O2 sensor is bad. That doesn''t mean it needs replacing. The O2 sensor is usually on the exhaust pipe before the muffler. Take it out and look at it. If it's black and crusty, clean it off with something like carb cleaner and compressed air. (I soaked mine in ChemDip - May not be O2 sensor safe, so I don't advise, but it worked for me). There's some good info on o2 sensors out there so search that. That should fix the problem if it's running rich. dd

Battle of Fire Support Base Ripcord happened in 1970.

Yes and no. Most species recover from flood and fire. Flood and fire are nature's way of controlling species population, and also of regenerating growth in the forests. However, some species cannot recover from a combination of natural disasters AND human involvement. One of the things that causes species to be endangered is human encroachment. Encroachment means human activities that have negative effects on the make up of the forest zones. Sometimes forest fire and flood are caused by human activities, and these can have negative effects on the species of the forest. Other "encroachment" activities that endanger animals are when human beings go to the forest for fetching woods, cutting lumber, picking off the bark and leaves for local medicine; they hunt in the forest, dig holes, alter the ecological settings of the forest floor, etc. All these activities put together lead to forest fire and flood thereby burning and washing away all the necessary ingredients needed by these species to survive, causing habitat loss and so on.

Zaca Fire happened in 2007.

Well there is obviously a fire, and then the fire department comes and planes spread that red gas (I forgot what it was called!) on the fire trying to make it come out. It really depends on how large the fire is to determine how much time it will take for it to be done.

Forest/brush fires.

South Canyon Fire happened in 1994.

It could burn nearby houses and kill the animals.

It is a phenomenon or process by which an ecological community undergoes more or less orderly and predictable changes following a disturbance or the initial colonization of a new habitat. Succession may be initiated either by formation of new, unoccupied habitat, such as from a lava flow or a severe landslide, or by some form of disturbance, such as from a fire, severe wind-throw, logging, of an existing community. Succession that begins in new habitats, uninfluenced by pre-existing communities is called primary succession, whereas succession that follows disruption of a pre-existing community is called secondary succession

It can't cause a forest fire, but it can contribute to its spread, especially if there are high winds.

Freddy peacock didnt die. They thought that as they couldn't find him anywhere in the house, his body was burnt to pieces. But whoever started the fire, took freddy with them after setting it alight, the persons intention being to just kill clare and keep freddy.

I heard that lightning is a common cause of forest fires.
