Wildfires by Maggie Kilcullin

Over the past 400 million years, oxygen concentrations have stayed high enough to fuel fires. So the other ingredients which is the amount of burnable material and the number of ways to light it aflame are the main cause of the fire.

Not only are humans causing more fires, both intentionally and unintentionally, but lightning strikes are expected to increase as the climate warms. Warmer, more turbulent air leads to more thunderstorms, which in turn leads to more lightning. And a recent study found that lightning-induced fires were becoming more and more common across the northern reaches of the American continent, increasing on average by two to five percent each year since 1975. Solutions are to make sure you are following all of the local regulations and laws. Another solutions is to not burn any materials that are combustible or unusual in nature. My last solutions. Is to keep up to date with the weather forecast so you are sure not to burn any substances while there are high winds or other treacherous conditions.

  8. I think wildfires are definitely a big problem, but not many people are aware about how easy they are to start. Especially in places like California, I think people should be more careful about their actions when they're outside.

  12. I think the fires are more severe now than they were before because of all of the global warming. Its heating up the area and making certain areas that were already dry, even more dry, causing them to be more prone to catching fire by the slightest of accidents or the slightest bit of fire near the dry areas. I believe we could prevent these by eliminating camping and campfires in certain areas and also eliminating the amount of lit cigarettes being littered. -Brylee
