There is quite a debate when it comes to the idea of controlled fires to protect nature. Many agree that the benefits out way the risks but many also believe that a controlled fire is too dangerous to take that chance. If proper steps are taken, the outcome of the process is not only safe but also effective.

It will also produce for Nitrogen into the soil, to help more plants and vegetation grow in the future. With the Nitrogen and other additional nutrients in the soil it is helping farmers with their crops getting the nutrients it needs. Fires can also clear forests of insect infestations and potential diseases Warren (2011). Among the other benefits of prescribed burning are: Insect pest control, Removal of exotic, or non-species that compete with native species for nutrients and other needs, Fires occurring in nature can restore ecological balance and facilitate regeneration Warren

For centuries, society has been battling these natural disasters with considerable effort, only to come up with charred land and numerous homeless citizens. The one most significant gain, however, that comes with these fires is the vigorous regrowth that occurs years after the devastation. With a freshly cleared area, decaying sediment acting as fertilizer, and a significantly lower chance for fires, new life is easily reintroduced from the waste. The question then becomes whether it is ethical for human intervention with what is completely natural and healthy for the surrounding environment. The idea of allowing uncontrolled burns comes with great potential for animal and plant habitats, however it leaves many citizens in the wake of danger. Finding the balance between these two ideas, excessive interference and absolute surrender of control, is an important endeavor to way

Beatty states "real beauty that destroys responsibility and consequences" (Bradbury) I don't agree because fire can cause destruction and pain.

Fires can either be natural or anthropogenic, which can depend on any situation. A study conducted in 2004 on a wild fire at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota, suggests that the fire can

I decided to pair these two works of art together for numerous different reasons. First, I believe that they both represent the destruction of Mother Earth and how mankind is causing it; although, they both don’t directly state the purpose of the meaning behind them. This inference is solely based off of the title of the artwork and by observing them. By observing the meaning that I have inferred from Hellfire, created by Mawish Chishty, is the glorification of missiles and bombs. By observing Man Eating Trees, created by John Sokol, I inferred the destruction of nature because of the causes from mankind. The two shows how humanity is destroying Mother Nature and the unconsciousness effect people are doing to the Earth.

Oh how the flames have changed. No longer did the flames signify destruction, eating away at the pages that had once shaped society as we know it. No longer did the flamethrower clenched in a fireman’s fist burn the ideals that make us people. No longer did they dash the hopes, the dreams, of man. Fire, which was one demolition and violence, is now hope.

The focus of this lesson will be teaching the students to examine the history of wildland fires and their impact on society in America and in their community. Students will explore different approaches to living with fire and will examine various fire management techniques including prescribed fire, fire suppression, and fire prevention. They will take a closer look at the Copper King Fire in Montana, and will conduct a research project of wildfire history in another state. Students will also gain a better understanding of the role of fire in a particular culture and the importance of wildfire in the ecosystem. They will also understand ways to reduce wildfire risk around their home and community. Furthermore, students will increase their knowledge

The idea of “The Fire” started when Billy Joel was talking to one of his friends about how crazy it is to live in an era with all these things happening. The song suggests the spark of something in history. The fire is a representation of the start of an idea or fad in history. While there's always things coming up in history there were always things before it and always things coming after it. In the song Billy Joel mentions the moon landing as a part of the fire.

In “To Build A Fire”, the main conflict throughout is man versus nature although it would be inaccurate to say that nature goes out of its way to assault the man. The

The flames look hypnotizing, seemingly swallowing up the page. The sharp ends and contour of the lines create an almost holographic effect. Satrapi also makes this panel large, about half the page, which further intensifies and dramatizes the other events occurring on the page; in the panels above, Marji and her family frantically dial the telephone to reach their loved ones. In this panel, we fully understand the cause of the suspense they feel. At first glance, it seems that the flames that the taxis escape represent the bombings and annihilation of the border towns. During the violence and danger of the war, we imagine destruction and carnage as the only things the refugees have to leave behind. However, fire also symbolizes protection and passion. The residents of the border towns are not only running from the horrors of war, but are also being forced to forsake their homes, friends, and belongings. Some taxis illustrated are partially engulfed by the flames; those Iranians could not bear to desert their past lives, or did not do so fast

Much like all events and natural phenomena that pose a threat to civilization, humans have learned to cope with and prevent the loss of human life and destruction of property in devastating blazes that can break out seemingly at random. Fighting fires was not always the science it is today, but due to the use of new technologies and the fundamental understanding of what fire is, how it spreads, how it can kill, and how it is stopped, our protocol when dealing with fires has increased our success rate and continues to grow with applications of engineering, chemistry, and meteorology.

     Fire is used frequently in The Iliad, but Virgil utilizes this image in his poem as well. Fire symbolizes both destruction and desire in Virgil’s poem, much like it did in The Iliad. In Book II, Aeneas uses the image of flames to describe the fate of Troy. “But now the

Fire: bright, burning, wondrous thing; the embodiment of life and death. It is easy to understand the fascination that pyromaniacs have with flame. It is, after all, a fascination that extends back countless centuries from the first discoveries of spark and fire. The Greeks saw fire as the embodiment of knowledge; dangerous when used carelessly, but awesome in its abilities. Fire is used every day to cook meals, heat homes, although not so much in Florida, and has many other beneficial uses. Fire can also destroy lives, tear apart families, and utterly consume homes. Fire renews the earth through destruction and reinforces the basic idea that all life must come from some death. It is something humans can manipulate, but is at its

Forests have covered the earth for millions of years, providing habitat and food for animals and humans. These forests have stabilized different ecosystems and have continued the natural cycle that keeps plants and animals in check. The discovery of fire changed all of this. It was the beginning of deforestation, a process that has continued and increased over the last 200,000 years. Humans are the responsible party for the deforestation that has occurred. Humans discovered that animals could be driven with fire. This led to accelerated forest loss due to uncontrolled burning for hunting use (Miller & Tangley 1991: 28). Agriculture was the next problem
