Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that spread rapidly through vegetation in forests, grasslands, or other ecosystems. They can ignite from natural causes, such as lightning strikes, or human activities, including campfires, discarded cigarettes, or arson. Wildfires can consume large areas of land, posing significant risks to wildlife, human life, and property, as well as impacting air quality and ecosystems. The intensity and behavior of wildfires are influenced by weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, wind, and the availability of fuel sources. Depending on their severity, wildfires can lead to destruction of forests and habitats, soil erosion, and long-term changes in land use and ecology. Fire management and prevention strategies include controlled burns, creating firebreaks, and monitoring weather conditions to reduce the risk of large-scale outbreaks.
