Wildfires

During a wildfire it becomes bigger as it goes over any fuels from living or dead plants and animals! Then if it gets bigger the fire department spreads chemicals over the fire to reduce it. If that does not help, the fire fighters will have to wait for it to die down to go in and put it out!

To be honest I have no idea how much it costs! But I live in Washington, near where twilight, new moon, eclipse & breaking dawn are set!

With the whole circle of life, wildfires are a normal part of forest life. Yes, some may die, but there is also growth afterward. For instance, most animals retreat from wildfires while small animals like snakes and toads bury themselves underground until after the danger has passed. If you look at an area after a wildfire, about 4 to 6 months after you can already see growth happening, the larger trees should still stand if the fire was not to severe, they will have charred marks up to the height of the flames, all under brush dies, but it does grow back. A lot of times counties with large forest areas to look after do what is called control burning where they go in and set fires to burn through the older underbrush, the reason is to make chances of an uncontrollable wildfire more controllable.

A fire starts by friction or by an electric spark igniting the gasses or general fuel used.

Depending on what it is burning it can get upward of 3000 degrees F.

Too much smoke can kill any living thing.

Wildfires mostly start at places such as large and dense forests. They occur when dried-up leaves and branches on the forest ground catch fire from either a cigarette butt or a lightning strike. These will start to spread, and eventually, the upright trees would also be reduced to ashes.

i don't know just trying 2 figure out mi brothers password 2 mi computer and its making me mad :(

there is all sorts of ways that they start like power lines falling lighting striking trees even, sound scary but its true people can start fires and then the winds blow it causing it to spread do you know that fire travels faster down hill then it does up! from gal of new zealand

it can be to hot and the sun can be focusing on one thing, if there is no breeze or water it can get really hot and catch on fire, a wildfire can also start if humans mess with lighters, cigarettes and many more.

The cost of preparation for forest fires is one cost, in addition to the actual cost of fighting fires.

The economic harm to forests and other assets depends upon the local conditions, and whether the forests were commercially viable.

The cost in human suffering and property damage depends upon where the fire occurred.

The costs in suffering of wild animals is immeasurable.

It depends on where the wild fire is, if it is surrounded by water or in the middle of the woods, or near homes. A whole forest can go up in flames within minutes.

Fire can "go away" if it runs out of fuel, is extinguished by water or another fire retardant, or if the conditions necessary for it to exist, such as heat, oxygen, and fuel, are removed. The extinguishing method depends on the type of fire and its surroundings.

Wildfires can burn down houses and injure or even kill people if they spread far and fast enough.

A wildfire moves almost as fast as the wind itself - which is difficult to outrun.

The loss of trees results in erosion, which may take out a section of road the next time it rains.

The wildlife becomes displaced (has to move their range), crowding in on other animals' territory and stressing the resources in that area, possibly inhabited by humans.

The lost tree varieties may not be able to reclaim the area without human assistance, and may take over 100 years to do so.

They make me sad.

• Sudden onset: Disasters typically occur unexpectedly and have a rapid onset.
• Widespread impact: Disasters can affect a large area, causing damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and disruption to communities.
• Need for response: Disasters require a coordinated response effort to provide emergency assistance, support, and recovery to those affected.

Decades of fighting fires has prevented the normal thinning of forests by fire. Now many forests are unnaturally thick, providing more fuel to fires than normal.

In general, normal cold weather does not affect wireless signals. However, extremely cold weather could cause issues for external antennae that are exposed to conditions.

There is no set temperature that a wildfire starts at. The most recent fire in Santa Barbara, ca started when the weather was overcast and the temperature was below 70 degrees.

There are three types of fire response organizations that can be found:

* Volunteer * Paid * Combination The main difference is the way the stations are staffed. Paid departments maintain a crew of paid firefighters at all times, ensuring a proper crew and a quick response. Volunteer companies generally have more firefighters, however often times they will respond from their homes or jobs. Combination departments are those that have paid firefighters during certain hours, or they have a full paid stuff supplemented by volunteers.

In terms of training, a volunteer firefighter obtains the very same certifications as a paid firefighter. Paid firefighters respond from the station usually only during their shift, while volunteers, continuing the traditions established by Benjamin Franklin centuries ago, will respond any hour day or night, with no expectation of financial reward.
