In Australia, forest fires are called bushfires. According to the Australian Government's website, and backed by data from the Australian Institute of Criminology, there are roughly 52,000 bushfires every year. Actual figures may vary from 46,000 to 62,000 per year.

There are two main causes of forest fires. Firstly is human carelessness as people fail to extinguish camp fires properly or are careless with matches and cigarettes. The second cause is often due to lightning strikes in forested areas.

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.

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.

Fire is extremaly hot and it can burn of your skin and you could also die. Don't go near fire!

The dryness after the wet season

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

They effect the environment because when the fire spreads through the forest it kills the plants and the nutrients inside the plants that the animals eat. When the animals don't get their food that they need, they start dying and the more that die, the more they become endangered. Also because it kills animals automaticallky and effects the habitats and homes of of the animals.

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.

Forest fires are good because it burns away old trees and leaves naturally so there is no pollution in the air, and in certain areas, we need to get rid of areas full of leaves and trees. Long story short, it clears the ground naturally.

Wattage and voltage are two different forms of measuring electrical power.

Voltage is measure of the strength of an electrical charge.

Wattage is the measure of the consumption of that charge.

Wattage is used to measure the heat generated from the flow of electricity between two points whereas voltage measures the density of electrical charge of that flow. The wattage produced is directly proportionate to the electrical resistance of the item when voltage is applied to or travels across it. This is why a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb. By using an element with a higher resistance to an electrical charge in a 100 watt bulb than a 50 watt bulb the 100 produces a higher "glow" because the electricity cannot travel as freely across the element causing it to heat up thereby consuming a larger amount of the charge passing through it. The amount the charge dissipates from one side to the other is the wattage. Or more eloquently stated as Ohm's law: The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.

Small fires are used in several ways to control large fires.

First, prescribed fires can be used as a technique to reduce forest fuel loads during periods of low forest fire risk. If wildfires later occur, they will not be as intense and may not be able to spread beyond natural or man-made boundaries.

During fire suppression, one of the primary techniques is to make a "fuel separation" between burning fuel and the rest of the world. This is generally accomplished by "containing" the fire in a fireline, using hand tools, bulldozers, retardant bombers, or other means.

However, these often leave large unburned areas between the main fire and the fireline, creating a risk that the main fire could burn with enough intensity to "jump the line" and continue. A "backfire" is used under certain circumstances to ignite fuels along the inside of the fireline, while they can be controlled, making a "black area" with very little forest fuel to burn when the main fire arrives.

The other use of small fires in suppression is to "burn out" small unburned areas within the main fire, so that they do not later rekindle and create enough heat to spread to other unburned fuels.

The fire-bombing of Tokyo in WWII. Estimated 140,000.

The following is a chronology of how the death toll unfolded. As of 2/8, 84 had been reported dead. ---- Late evening Monday, 9 February 2009: 134 confirmed dead. The death toll is expected to reach 230 by the time it's all over. ---- Tuesday midday, 10 February: the death toll was at 173. By late Tuesday evening, it had reached 181. 80 more people were still missing. ---- The offical death toll from the Victoria bushfires remained at 181 up until the morning of Monday, 16 February 2009. By evening, after police had searched areas of rubble, that figure had risen to 189. A day later, after more searches, the toll hit 200. ---- The searches continued. On Thursday, 19 February, twelve days after the fires started, the death toll had risen to 208. ---- By 24 February, the death toll was 209, but police were still unsure how many people were still missing. The latest figure, in early March remains at 210, with some still missing.

No...At Least I dont Think So I mean I am only 11 but still.... L8as ( ;

A forest fire is not always started by us, (Although, that is the case for many. ) Like during a dry period of time, and just sheer exposure to the heat can catch something on fire. Since fire's like these are natural, people do not react as badly as a human started fire. BUT all fires are dangerous, and people just want to control it. NOW, when the fire goes out, there is a large amount of ash, dead animals, tree remains. Don't take this as a bad thing! After a few weeks, seeds that lay dormant just below the surface spring up at the large amount of nutrients and feast on it. Allowing the plants to grow big, and fast.

Fireweed, whose seeds are carried on the wind similar to cottonwood tree or dandelion seeds, quickly colonizes areas disturbed by fire. I have personally seen areas that burned one year be completely filled with the purple blooms of fireweed the next.

A hot fire may destroy the forest canopy or brush cover and coat the terrain with ash. Rains are not absorbed by the sterilized land, allowing unusual amounts of runoff to accumulate and gain momentum as it flows downhill unimpeded.
