In recent years, cases of wildfires have been increasing across the world. These fires destroy homes and the environment. According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, almost 3 billion animals were killed or lost their homes in the 2019 - 2020 Australian wildfires. In China, the total number of forest fires every year has increased to more than 2, 000, according to The Paper.
Unlike other natural disasters, wildfires are most often caused by people. The good news is that this means people can help stop wildfires, too!
How can you help prevent wildfires?
Stay fire safe
When you start a campfire, clear the area around your fire pit(坑) and circle your pit with rocks. To put out your fire, mix water into the dirt and ash until it's cool enough to touch. If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to leave.
Never light a fire on a windy day
Do not use fireworks or firecrackers(爆竹) in forests.
Put used matches in a closed container or a cup of water.
Stay safe from the flames
Use a wet towel to cover your nose and mouth.
If there's water nearby, soak your clothes with it.
If you find yourself next to a fire on a mountain, run downhill instead of up.
If there are ditches(沟) or rivers, you can use these areas to avoid danger.
If in a forest, run to the large open spaces where there are fewer trees or less vegetation(植被).
