Cavemen did not invent fire. It is believed that early humans discovered how to control and use fire around 1.5 million years ago by capturing it from natural sources like lightning or lava flows. They learned to tend and maintain fires for warmth, cooking, and protection.

The red substance used to put out fires from planes is typically called fire retardant or fire suppressant. It is a chemical mixture that is designed to reduce the flammability of a fire by coating the fuel and preventing it from igniting.

The Receiver of memory; Jonas will take lessons with the "Giver", training him to become the future "Giver".

He will be called for when the people are in a time of panic or when they do not no what to do.

The Hayman Fire occurred in Colorado, United States, in June 2002. It started on June 8th and was fully contained on July 18th. It is the largest wildfire in the state's history, burning approximately 138,000 acres.

To increase your chances of surviving a forest fire without your house getting burned, you can take several precautions. Clear flammable debris, like dry leaves and firewood, from around your property. Create a defensible space by keeping a distance of at least 30 feet between the house and any vegetation. Install fire-resistant roofing materials and regularly clean gutters and roofs to prevent ember ignition. Additionally, ensure you have an evacuation plan and stay updated on local fire warnings and evacuation notices.

Eating fire can cause serious injuries or even be fatal. If a boy ate fire, he likely suffered burns to his mouth, throat, and digestive system. Medical treatment would be necessary to manage the burns and any related complications.

Mercury is introduced into the environment through both natural and human activities. Natural sources include volcanic eruptions and weathering of rocks, while human activities like industrial processes, coal burning, and mining contribute significantly to mercury emissions. Once released into the air or water, mercury is transported and can accumulate in ecosystems, leading to harmful effects on animals and humans.

Forest fires are necessary for regeneration in Australia because they help to clear out undergrowth, dead vegetation, and invasive species, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and stimulate the germination of seeds. Fire also helps to release nutrients that promote new growth and diversity in the landscape. Many native Australian plant species have evolved to rely on fire for reproduction and have adaptations that allow them to recover and thrive after a fire event.

If you call the fire station and there is no fire, they will likely ask you for more information to determine the reason for your call. They might provide guidance or assistance if it's a non-emergency situation. However, tying up emergency lines unnecessarily can prevent faster responses to actual emergencies, so it's important to only call in genuine emergency situations.

Because clear cut means zero trees left, which means no seeds left to grow new trees. There is also terrible erosion.

A forest fire is difficult to put out - just look at forest fires that have occurred in California for several days and even weeks. Water, retarding agents and backfires are the preferred methods. DON'T USE LIQUOR! I'VE TRIED IT

In any bushfire situation, there are a number of responses. The people affected by the February 2009 bushfires in Victoria were divided between these responses: * Follow the evacuation plan early, and get out, with minimal luggage. * Wait and see what the fires were going to do before choosing to evacuate. This response caused a lot of deaths, as people fleeing found their ability to see on the roads severely hampered by the thick smoke. Some people were killed in multi-car pileups as a result. Many people saw the fires coming, chose to leave, but the incredible speed of the fire front caught them before they could leave. * Stay and fight. This response also resulted in so many deaths. Bushfires had been fought on the homefront and won previously. Some people underestimated the severity of the fires, and believed they could water down their houses and survive.

No one knows for sure

Louis on 26 July 2010: indeed, no one knows for sure, but there is good reasoning behind thinking that language developed only about 13000 years ago. Although people communicated before, like all animals do, they would also have been using sounds like singing and gestures and even drawings and carving. The the cro-magnons made cave paintings 80.000 years ago. But they were unlikely to have had anything like structured language. It was only when humans settled down from being hunters gatherers into agricultural communities that language developed. There is an excellent book pulling the facts together on this by Rik Smits, unfortunately it seems to be available in Dutch only.

tree planting to increase area under forests, care of trees already planted, protection of trees from insects and pests, free distribution of saplings, preventing illegal felling of trees, planting trees on hillslopes and wastelands

The largest forest fires in the world's _recorded_ history would be the 1997-98 Indonesian forest fires. though the fires after the hypothesised meteorite falling in the Mexico gulf probably released enough energy to start volcanoes and forest fires throughout all the continents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1997_Indonesian_forest_fires

the Indonesian fire burned on and off for 2 years. the biggest single fire was in Queensland, Australia. started on the 1/11/74 and burned throughout the Thargomindah, Bulloo Shire, Boulia Urandangie, McKinlay Shire. it burnt around 7,300,000ha.
