Blazes are intense fires that can occur in forests, grasslands, or other natural areas. They can be caused by natural events like lightning or human activities such as campfires and discarded cigarettes. Blazes can spread quickly, fueled by dry vegetation and strong winds, posing risks to wildlife, property, and human safety. Firefighters use various techniques to control and extinguish blazes, including creating firebreaks and using water or fire retardants. Understanding the behavior of blazes is crucial for effective management and prevention, especially in regions prone to wildfires, such as the Western United States and Australia.
