A bushfire, also known as a wildfire, is an uncontrolled fire that burns in forests, shrublands, or grasslands, primarily in regions where there is significant vegetation, such as Australia and parts of the United States. These fires can occur naturally due to lightning strikes or can be ignited by human activities, such as campfires or discarded cigarette butts. Bushfires are characterized by their ability to spread rapidly, fueled by dry vegetation and strong winds. They can cause extensive damage to ecosystems, property, and human life, leading to environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. Bushfire management includes prevention, detection, control, and recovery efforts to mitigate their impact and promote fire-resilient landscapes.
