Title of the Project : Putting out the forest fire using ………

Introduction

A forest fire is an uncontrolled fire that starts in foliage that is


taller than 2 meters. These fires can sometimes be started by
combustion and heat from surface and ground fires, and they
frequently grow to the size of a large inferno. A large forest fire
may crown, or quickly spread through the trees' upper branches,
before affecting the underbrush or the forest floor. As a result,
forest fires frequently experience ferocious blowups that
sometimes resemble firestorms.

The species of plants and animals that are native to those


habitats are either made better by or dependent on the
occurrence of fire in order to persist and breed, despite the fact
that forest fire is frequently perceived as harmful. Fire can
enhance ecosystem health by lowering competition, enriching the
soil with ash, and reducing illnesses and pests. Lightning strikes
occur naturally in dry forests. Even some plant species' seeds
need fire to germinate. Years of fire exclusion and suppression in
the 19th and 20th centuries allowed fuels to accumulate in many
areas that have historically experienced forest fires, such as
forested areas of the western United States, altering the
vegetation communities present and resulting in more severe
conflagrations when fires do occur.
