What is it?

• A wildfire is one of the most destructive natural
  forces in nature. While sometimes caused by
  lighting, nine out of ten wildfires are caused by
  careless humans.

3
What causes it to happen?

• The conditions that cause wildfires to happen are
  a drought in a forest or in the woods. Lightning,
  the heat from the sun, or even a spark off a
  train could start a raging wildfire.

4
Where do they happen?

• Wildfires can happen anywhere in the world where
  there is lots of dry vegetation and it is really
  dry.

5
What are the consequences?

• The consequences are people dying, losing their
  homes, their pets, family members, friends, and
  tons of other things. People have to start their
  lives all over again.

6
How to prevent damage and death.

• Have at least two smoke detectors on every floor
  of the house.
• Your family needs a fire escape plan for every
  room in the house.
• You need at least two ways out of every room of
  the house.
• Remember to bring your pets with you if you have
  to evacuate.
