Wildfire effects

1. Economic cost 2. Health Effects of Wildfires 3. Wildfire Effects on Animals

Economic cost

Wildfire can immediately damage infrastructure, wildlife, and vegetation. With temperatures as high as 1000°C, fires can potentially wipe out anything which comes in its way. Furthermore, the city will have to spend millions of dollars into fire-retardant chemicals, aircraft, and trucks, as well as time and personnel. This can lead to huge economic setbacks.

Health effects of wildfires

Inhalation of wildfire smoke leads to various toxic health effects on humans. Smoke Exposure results in increased hospitalization into respiratory and cardiovascular wards. Other than that, some may develop asthma or previously asthmatic patients may develop exacerbation of their symptoms. This will definitely raise the frequency of visits to the hospital or more importantly, the emergency room. There will also be increase in consumption of pharmaceuticals which have their own line of effects on the environment.

Wildfire effects on animals

Forest fires burn through hundreds of thousands of acres before they are put out. This results in loss of habitat and destruction for millions of animals! Most of those will become endangered. Animals already endangered would be at a much higher risk of extinction as well! Australian bushfires have recently resulted in north of 1 Million animal deaths.

How to stop fire

1. Follow Guidelines set for your area 2. Light fires in controlled locations 3. Stop burning Combustible materials 4. Educate children

Follow guidelines set for your area

You must make sure to follow all the local regulations and laws when it comes to lighting up fires, especially when igniting outdoors. These laws apply to specific dry-weather times of the year, so you should be on the lookout for those as well. Particular knowledge of which materials and substances are allowed to be burned is also necessary.

Light fires in controlled locations

When you choose to light fire, you must make sure you are doing so in areas that can be controlled and fires don’t spread into other places. This makes easy containment of fire and prevents its spread.

Stop burning combustible materials

Reduce garbage in campfire places or any other materials that should not be burned. Use organic materials such as woods, leaves, or yard waste. More importantly, burning everything willy nilly releases all kinds of chemicals into the air. These chemicals when breathed into lungs with air, could result in all forms of cancers.

Educate children

Many wildfires are caused by inattentive children near fires. Teach your children about the importance of forests and forest products. They must be educated about the rules and safety precautions during camping and should be told to stay away from fires. If a child does show keen interest towards fire, parents should consult a psychologist for the child to address those mental impulses.
