Have you ever seen a forest fire? You will soon read about Carmen and her experience of visiting an old forest fire. Carmen and her family were driving down from the mountains. “When can we go back home, Mum?” Carmen asked. “When the firemen say it’s okay,” said Carmen’s mum. “Will our village burn down?” asked Carmen’s little brother Evan. “Maybe not,” said Carmen’s mum. “The firemen are just being very careful to search. They don’t want anyone in our village to get hurt.” “I hate fire,” said Carmen. “It breaks down everything.” “Actually,” said Carmen’s mum, “a natural fire can be useful. It can help some kinds of forests.”
“Doesn’t it kill trees and animals?” asked Carmen. “Yes, it does,” said Carmen’s mum. “But fire also provides different plants and animals for the forest.” “I don’t understand,” said Carmen. “After we go to see the Eagle Ridge Fire that burned the forest three years ago, you’ll understand,” said Carmen’s mum.
An accident happened on the Eagle Ridge in 2021. Now there are nearly all charred(烧焦的) trees. But along the hillside are hundreds of bright orange flowers. “We don’t have flowers like these on Pirate Rock,” said Carmen. “That’s because the tall trees keep the sunlight away from them,” said Carmen’s mum. There’s plenty of daylight for the flowers here. They will grow and become food for deer and other animals.
“Look!” said Evan. “Baby trees!” “So cute,” said Carmen. “There can’t be any baby trees if this place doesn’t catch fire,” said Carmen’s mum. “Will Pirate Rock have baby trees?” asked Carmen. “Yes. Next year there will be a lot of baby trees,” said her mum.
