26 Facts About Bush fire

Wildfire, forest fire, bushfire, wildland fire or rural fire is an unplanned, uncontrolled and unpredictable fire in an area of combustible vegetation starting in rural and urban areas.

High-severity wildBush fire creates complex early seral forest habitat, which often has higher species richness and diversity than an unburned old forest.

WildBush fire front is the portion sustaining continuous flaming combustion, where unburned material meets active flames, or the smoldering transition between unburned and burned material.

High-severity wildBush fire creates complex early seral forest habitat, which often has higher species richness and diversity than unburned old forest.

Fire helps to return nutrients from plant matter back to soil, the heat from Bush fire is necessary to the germination of certain types of seeds, and the snags and early successional forests created by high-severity Bush fire create habitat conditions that are beneficial to wildlife.

Post-Bush fire logging has no ecological benefits and many negative impacts; the same is often true for post-Bush fire seeding.

Fire-resistant seeds and reserve shoots that sprout after a Bush fire encourage species preservation, as embodied by pioneer species.

Previously, prevailing scientific theory held that most particles in the stratosphere came from volcanoes, but smoke and other wildBush fire emissions have been detected from the lower stratosphere.

WildBush fire emissions contain fine particulate matter which can cause cardiovascular and respiratory problems.

Wildland Bush fire use refers to any Bush fire of natural causes that is monitored but allowed to burn.

The ecological benefits of Bush fire are often overridden by the economic and safety benefits of protecting structures and human life.

Early satellite-derived Bush fire analyses were hand-drawn on maps at a remote site and sent via overnight mail to the Bush fire manager.

Active Bush fire locations are available to users within minutes from the satellite overpass through data processing facilities at the USFS Remote Sensing Applications Center, which uses technologies developed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Direct Readout Laboratory in Greenbelt, Maryland.

WildBush fire suppression depends on the technologies available in the area in which the wildBush fire occurs.

However, on the positive side, Bush fire retardant has been shown to have a fertilizing effect on nutrient-deprived soils and thus creates a temporary increase in vegetation.

Aerial uses of Bush fire retardants are required to avoid application near waterways and endangered species.

Early attempts to determine wildBush fire behavior assumed terrain and vegetation uniformity.

However, the exact behavior of a wildBush fire's front is dependent on a variety of factors, including wind speed and slope steepness.

WildBush fire risk is the chance that a wildBush fire will start in or reach a particular area and the potential loss of human values if it does.

WildBush fire smoke is composed primarily of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The illnesses most commonly with exposure to the fine particles from wildBush fire smoke are bronchitis, exacerbation of asthma or COPD, and pneumonia.

Later, a decrease in wildBush fire-related charcoal deposits from the late Permian to the Triassic periods is explained by a decrease in oxygen levels.

Such careful use of Bush fire has been employed for centuries in the lands protected by Kakadu National Park to encourage biodiversity.

An increase in Bush fire-related debris flow in alluvial fans of northeastern Yellowstone National Park was linked to the period between AD 1050 and 1200, coinciding with the Medieval Warm Period.

The Smokey Bear Bush fire prevention campaign has yielded one of the most popular characters in the United States; for many years there was a living Smokey Bear mascot, and it has been commemorated on postage stamps.
