A forest fire is a destructive and uncontrolled fire that occurs in woodland or forested areas. It is generally caused by natural phenomena like lightning strikes or human activities such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, or arson. Forest fires can spread rapidly, devastating vast areas and causing significant damage to biodiversity, habitats, and even human lives and properties. These fires play a complex role in forest ecosystems, as they can help in the regeneration of certain species and nutrient cycling, but can also lead to long-lasting ecological consequences and contribute to climate change. Efficient prevention, early detection, and prompt firefighting efforts are crucial in minimizing the impact of forest fires.
