wild fire is called a forest fire?
Answers
Answer:
Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to include all organisms that grow or live wild in an area without being introduced by humans. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. ... Some animals, however, have adapted to suburban environments.
Wild fire is called as "Forest Fire Line" This line used to prevent fire breaking into the forest from one compartment to another. The collected litter was burnt in isolation. Generally, the fire spreads only if there is continuous supply of fuel along its path.

Wildfire
In the world of the professional fire fighter, the
term ìwildfireî has replaced the term ìforest fire.î
ìWildfireî is more descriptive of the wild,
uncontrolled fires which occur in fields, grass and
brush as well as in the forest itself. A stray spark
can often ignite dried grass more easily than it
can start a fire in the dried leaves of the forest
floor. Once started, grass and brush fires can
spread to adjacent forested land.
Brush and grass lands are an important part of
the Commonwealthís natural resources. They
support many types of wildlife and some types of
recreation, Grass and brush are also soil
stabilizing ground cover which help to protect
valuable soil from erosion. Frequently, these
areas of low growing plants are the first stages in
development of a future forest.
Most people believe the greatest danger of
wildfire occurs during the summer. The large.
dramatic wildfires burning in the western states
draw attention from the national news media. Due
to the dangerous conditions created by these
large fires and the threat to life and property, the
national fire prevention television campaign is in
the summer.
These campaigns have led most people to
believe that Pennsylvania is most vulnerable
to wildfires in the summer as well. Actually,
our greatest danger of wildfires is in the spring
months of March, April and May, and the
autumn months of October and November.
Another important difference between western
wildfires and those in Pennsylvania is that a
large percentage of the western fires are
caused by summer ëdryí lightning storms. In
Pennsylvania lighting-caused fires are
relatively rare. Ninety-eight percent of our
wildfires are caused by people.
Why spring and fall months?
Certain conditions are necessary for a wildfire
to occur.
ONEÖAn available fuel source, such as
grasslands or fields.
TWOÖDry conditions, including the fuel
source.
THREE...An ignition source ó some way for
the fire to start.
The first two factors occur most frequently in
Pennsylvania during the spring and autumn.
As winter slowly recedes and the sun climbs
higher in the sky, the days become longer and
warmer. The trees are bare during this time
allowing the sunlight to reach the forest floor
warming the ground and drying last fallís
leaves.
This, coupled with the fact that the winds in
the spring are often very strong and dry, leads
to a tremendous amount of fuel ready to burn.
During the fall, starting around October, the
leaves turn color and begin to fall,
accumulating in a deep fluffy layer that
creates a fire hazard.The third factor, ignition source, also occurs
during these periods. One of the major causes of
forest fires in Pennsylvania is debris burning. A
careless person burning accumulated trash can
be responsible for causing thousands of acres of
valuable Pennsylvania forests to burn. These fires
most frequently start in someoneís backyard and
travel through the dead grass and weeds into the
bordering woodlands.
Always be careful with fire!
Regardless of the season, conditions often prevail
that allow wildfires to start. Wildfires can occur in
any month, at any time of the day, destroying
valuable woodlands and wildlife habitat. Homes
and buildings are threatened, not to mention the
direct threat to human lives.
Wildfires can be prevented! The majority of forest
fires in Pennsylvania can be stopped before they
happen by being careful with the use of fire.
