FIRE

I THINK FIRE IS BAD!

FIRE KILLS HUMANS!

• They used fire in flamethrowers to burn people to death or give them severe burns
• This year, in 2013, 92 firefighters have been reported dead from fires
• Also smoking can kill humans by giving them cancer which can later on kill them

FIRE KILLS ANIMALS!

• It can give them severe burns or can kill them
• It can burn down the animals habitats to ashes
• One of the animals that is greatly affected by wildfires is the grizzly bear
• Grizzlies have lived with wildfires for as long as they've roamed the Earth

FIRE CREATES HAZARDS!

• It can create smog which can kill humans and/or animals
• In 2011, an estimated 47,000 home-structural fires started from an electrical fire

FIRE BURNS DOWN BUILDINGS!

• In the 1600's, there was a fire in London, England that burned down half of the city!
• Also, in 2005, there was a fire in Madrid, Spain on the Windsor Building that burned the upper 10 stories of the building
• The building burned easily because it was a steel-frame building and steel is a good conductor

FIRE BURNS DOWN ANIMALS HABITATS

• Like the Yellowstone wildfires, wildfires burned down trees and tall grass
• Which can be habitats for squirrels and grizzly bears
• Another result of the 1988 fires is that about 30% of the park’s mature, whitebark pine trees were burned or injured
