Pale Fire

suggests that the fire caused damage to the park’s trees and vegetation.On the contrary, the professor in the listening points out that the plant became more diverse because the fire made an opportunity for plants that could not grow otherwise. Some smaller plants that needed open and shaded space to grow.After the fire,the trees were burned out so that those plants had a better environment. And some plants species won’t grow up unless they’re contacted with high levels of heat.The fire could…

of fireworks that form the big displays in the sky: firecrackers and sparklers. They are made in different ways. Firecrackers are rolled paper tubes that are filled with gunpowder called black powder or a fuse and flash paper. As you light the fuse, fire burns along the fuse and when it reaches the powder there is a loud explosion. Sparklers, though, make colorful, long lasting light. They contain more ingredients which means they burn longer and produce a light and sparks. The metals in the…

Burn: A Political History of the Fire Coast, with strong imagery: “consuming hundreds of homes in an inexorable march across the mountains to the sea” (par 1). Davis then constructs a premise that wildfires will continue to cause immense damage as long as private residential homes continue to exist in the Santa Monicas. He rebuts this premise by offering numerous historical examples such as the wildfire in 1835 in Jose Tapia's Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit and the 1903 fire that started in…

Wildfires are a dangerous threat, and these uncontrolled fires can become highly destructive if not prepared for. Wildfires can not only harm the environment, but can also harm us if they is not dealt with and spreads to human communities. Because of this, it is the job of firefighters to expunge wildfires before they become more destructive than they already are. However, simply expunging a wildfire after it starts isn't the best option to prevent them, since it leaves fuels (leaf litter and…

The grass was brown and dead, heat from the sun hitting the earth at angles that start fires. Wind was blowing, but it felt hot and humid, with a thickness that sent claustrophobic feelings into the lungs of every individual. The Willits Charter School was doomed to have mile testing on the day when the effects of the fire reached the south side of town. Everyone who lived within 5 miles of town was inflamed from the inside with exhaustion and smoke sickness. Personally, my body was plagued…

fight fire with fire". To people who do not understand why a controlled burn is beneficial and effective, this seems like a perfectly valid argument. The purpose of a controlled burn is to limit the amount of fuel in an area that an actual fire can consume. Wildfires can cost millions of dollars of damage and a controlled burn is a relatively cheap and simple way of preventing such destruction. A controlled burn helps the environment by preventing larger and more destructive forest fires from…

a few correctional guards. When it comes time to actually fight a fire, they are watched only by an unarmed CalFire captain. Even then, the captains are asking for tools from the inmates and can’t exactly keep a close watch on them.…

Firefighters have extremely dangerous jobs. They get called to put out a fire, sometimes they even have to go in the burning building and save a person’s life. However sadly sometimes they lose their life while trying to save someone. I feel as if there “suits” are too heavy for them when they go into the fire, this slows them down a lot more and this can cause death. What they need are lighter suits, these suits would have the same amount of protection in them but they will just be lighter so…

as well as the power of the attacking gang. These flames had dwindled over time but many of the constructions of the trader camp still burned brightly and energetically. At first glance it was almost like the area had been hit with a flamethrower or fire spell. Yet, these flames were not created by any weapon made by the hands of man - the attack had come swiftly and with no warning, only the silent gust of air a signal before the trader camp…

let me tell you, I did a couple of research myself to find out. We all know firefighters have a busy day, they put out fire, and we think that’s it. But little do we know there is more. For example I bet you didn’t know they did other activities, cleaning, calls for service, not even their shift time! We think of a firefighter and I’m guessing the first thing you think is red, fire, truck, but you don’t know anything else. That’s exactly why I’m about to tell you more. First let’s talk about…
