This document discusses forest fires as a natural hazard. It describes the causes of forest fires as a combination of fuel (dry brush), oxygen, and heat. Forest fires commonly occur in areas with low rainfall where plants and trees dry up. Lightning is a major cause of forest fires, igniting dry brush. While forest fires can renew plant growth and enrich soil, they mostly cause destruction. Prevention methods include maintaining forest floors and not littering cigarettes.
