In this image a fire fighter gives his all to contain the raging flames. It's to no avail due to the intense flames spurred on by the wind he will soon be forced to abandon his position and retreat to safer ground.
These forest fires consume millions of acres every year; it is also felt and the views of our people that research them and Global Warming that due to the earth changes, there's a good chance of many more over the years to come.

Above as shown in the multi-photo one can see some of the many co-ordinated efforts that are put into use to bring these fires under control. The cost to preserve our forest is astronomical; involving great time, money and effort and the countless manpower that's needed to bring each wild fire under control.
Although many fires are caused from natural phenomena, many are also caused by carelessness. We must always be careful when camping or out wondering our forest, that we clean up our garbage and make sure that any fire we make is out. We just may save a lot of life's including our own.
