It is a story that everyone is familiar with. Wildfires have been a commonplace for forests to experience, but due to climate change, wildfires occur in places that they shouldn't, and it can get out of hand to the point that forests are in danger of these wildfires. This is made important by the fact that people live in areas where forests are most abundant, and it leads to property being destroyed and lives being lost.
Many people train themselves to take on the task of rescuing people and containing the fires, and the act of containing a fire can be time consuming. This is especially apparent in recent news in which the forests residing in southern California have been engulfed in flames, and this leaves. Of course, while containing the wildfire is a good thing to do, under the right conditions, wildfires can be beneficial for the environment as the following Washington Post article states: "
Sometimes, it’s okay to let fires burn.
Prescribed fires — carefully planned and intentionally set fires by
professionals — along with some natural wildland fires, can prevent future
catastrophic wildfires; remove unwanted species of trees, vegetation or insects;
allow new plants and trees to sprout; and create good habitat for wildlife."
Humans have determined what is necessary for maintaining a balance in wildfires, and by learning from past experiences in which towns are decimated by a wildfires, it can lead to a better future when it comes to rescuing potential victims.
