Bushfire

A bushfire is an uncontrolled fire that spreads rapidly through vegetation such as grasslands, shrubs, and forests. Often ignited by natural causes like lightning or human activities, it can threaten wildlife, property, and lives. Bushfires release significant amounts of smoke and carbon dioxide, impacting air quality and the environment. Weather conditions like high temperatures, strong winds, and dry conditions can intensify their spread. Fire management strategies include controlled burns, firebreaks, and firefighting efforts to contain or reduce damage. While vital for some ecosystems' health, uncontrolled bushfires can cause extensive destruction and require coordinated response efforts.
