The Main Cause Of Wildfires In The Unites States

Wildfires occur every year in the Unites States. As many as 90 percent of wildland fires in the United States are caused by humans. Some human caused fires result from campfires left unattended, negligently discarded cigarettes, and intentional acts of arson. Wildfires can also be caused by nature like lava or lightning. Lightning is one of the main causes of wildfires, but mostly they are caused by humans.

Wildfires is a very serious issue because a lot of people lost their homes because of wildfires. Wildfires can also lead to people getting sick because the smoke around the areas expands, and cause exhaling problems with some people. Wildfires are becoming more intense because they are being extinguished before they are allowed to burn all the underbrush that acts as fuel. Some wildfires can destroy an entire town and some of its residents.
