Unattended wildfires have to be attended at all times because a warm breeze can blow the hot ashes and fire out of the pit. Burning debris in fire weather is very dangerous to a community because people are now burning rash and they aren’t putting them out with water and they are unaware of the weather conditions and their surroundings. Arson fires are caused by people who have had bad “moments” with other people around them. Arsonist are people who use accelerants such as gasoline and kerosene, to ignite and directionalize fires. The amount of time for an arsony is 20 years or life. The reason why arsonists set fires is pyromania. Pyromania is an obsessive desire to burn things. There are two types of pyromania: individual and environmental pyromania. Individual pyromania is when one person with this disorder sets something on fire. Environmental pyromania is when multiple disordered people set a certain amount of items on fire and this can be a high risk to others in the environment. Lightning is also a cause of wildfires because lightning is known for always striking the highest point or anything metal. Lightning rods are being used as the highest point for houses so when lightning strikes, it won’t strike anything in the house. Instead, it goes underground and won’t go electrocute anything in the
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
Have you ever went camping with friends or family and admired the welcoming campfires that were built? Roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, or just sitting and absorbing the nature around you are just a few of the many enjoyable activities that can be done with a bonfire! However, what may look like a simple set-up might be more complex than one would assume. In fact, there are several steps a person should follow when constructing a campfire. Practicing these instructions can not only lead to a more successful, thriving bonfire, but can also guide you to becoming more safe and aware. When my dad taught me how to build a fire, it was an overall bonding experience. He was patient with me through the many failed attempts and constantly reminded me that safety was the most important factor.

The duality of the fire’s purpose and its importance represents the boys’ shift from civilization to savagery. At first, the fire was a signal fire to get rescued. One of their main tasks after arriving on the island was to get rescued. After Ralph was elected chief, he suggested that they should create a signal fire to notify passing ships that there are people on this island; "There's another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire" (38). To create the fire, they used Piggy’s glasses: "His specs--use them as burning glasses!" (40). The boys’ connections with civilization were still strong as it hasn’t been a long time since their isolation from society.

This seems to be dangerous activity; yet allowing a child with enough conscience about his action, playing with fire will benefits him intellectually since fire is undeniably important in our life. The fact that fire is dangerous, and it can burn out anything seems to lie at the back of our mind, hence, we – the adults – tell younger children so, but we never really explain fire’s characteristics to them. Children, on the other, are not patient enough to read through a textbook when they are young therefore; the only way to let them learn about the dangers of fire is to allow them play with fire. When they play, they obviously must be under their parents’
