Wildfires

• 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.

This succession is called autotrophic autogenous.

Caused by humans and weather related

As the old saying "where there's smoke, there's fire" says, it must mean there is a fire. This could mean it's a forest fire, or it could be a house or cabin on fire. Or it could mean someone is burning some brush. But anytime you see smoke, it's always best to immediately contact the fire department and let them check it out.

Wildfires start with grass, brush or any dry vegetation, and anything can ignite them. They can be started by lightning, or also by a careless human who doesn't put out their campfire all the way or throws a lit cigarette or match into the brush. There are also some who intentionally set wildfires.

That really depends on the surroundings and how hard the wind is blowing. Wind and extremely hot temperatures are always a big factor for when a fire gets out of control

As soon as this question is answered it will be wrong, because there are new wildfires every day somewhere in the world. When it is summer in America, there will be wildfires. When it is summer in Europe, there will be forest fires. When it is summer in Australia, there will be bush fires.

Fires are caused naturally, usually by lightning strikes, but some are caused by arson, that is, they are deliberately lit. Often fires cause expensive damage to crops, animals and property, and sometimes people die too.

Humans are causing way more wildfires which is an issue. First of all after camping, they sometimes leave the fire. Second of all, some people smokes and drop cigarettes on the ground which the cigarettes remnants can ignite wildfires. With more wildfires, more wild animals are killed.

You can find annual statistics on wildfires from sources such as the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC), or the United States Forest Service (USFS). These organizations regularly publish reports and data on wildfires including statistics on the number of fires, acres burned, and other relevant information.

A wildfire can cause widespread destruction by burning vegetation, trees, and structures in its path. It can also devastate wildlife habitats, lead to soil erosion, and pose a threat to human lives and property. The environmental impact of a wildfire can be long-lasting and severe.

Firenados, also known as fire whirlwinds or fire tornadoes, are intense, swirling columns of fire that can form during wildfires or intense heat events. They occur when hot air rises rapidly and interacts with cooler air, creating a rotating column that can lift burning debris and embers into the air. These phenomena can be highly destructive, as they spread flames and ignite new fires in their vicinity. Firenados are relatively rare but can significantly impact wildfire behavior and spread.

We need to manage wildfires. SMALL wildfires will burn off the underbrush without destroying the trees, but if we prevent ANY fires, then tons of very dry underbrush will grow, die, and accumulate. When the fire finally happens anyway (which it will), it'll destroy the trees as well.
