Wild Fire

A wildfire, also known as a forest fire or bushfire, is an uncontrolled and rapidly spreading fire that occurs in natural areas such as forests, grasslands, or brush-covered areas. It is characterized by its ability to quickly consume vegetation, including trees, shrubs, grass, and other organic materials, and can pose a significant threat to both human lives and wildlife.

Wildfires typically start from various sources, such as lightning strikes, volcanic eruptions, or human activities like campfires, discarded cigarettes, or intentional acts of arson. Once ignited, they can rapidly grow and spread, fueled by dry vegetation, strong winds, and favorable weather conditions. The combination of heat, oxygen, and fuel results in the fire's continuous expansion, which often creates its own wind patterns and can further accelerate its progress.
