1.
What is a forest fire? How can it be
controlled?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The technique is called backburning, and it involves setting a controlled fire in the path of the approaching wildfire. All the flammable material is burnt up and extinguished. When the wildfire approaches, there's no more fuel left for it to keep going, and it dies out.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Wildfire, also called forest, bush or vegetation fire, can be described as any uncontrolled and non-prescribed combustion or burning of plants in a natural setting such as a forest, grassland, brush land or tundra, which consumes the natural fuels and spreads based on environmental conditions (e.g., wind, topography ).

Controlled burning, also known as prescribed burning, involves setting planned fires to maintain the health of a forest. ... Materials burned in a planned fire include dead grass, fallen tree branches, dead trees, and thick undergrowth. Before a controlled burn is lit, a plan—or prescription—is drawn up.
