Fire Facts:
There are about 135,000 wildfires in the United States of America every year!
Pieces of wildfire Fuel have the elements carbon and hydrogen in them. When Hot, (And it has to get very very Hot! over 700 degrees fahrenheit!) oxygen from the air reacts with the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel. Out Comes Energy... Fire!
There are three kinds of wildfires: ground fires, surface fires, and crown fires.
the pinecones of certain pines and conifers are sealed with resin. resin keeps the seeds shut in the cone. Wildfires create enough heat to melt the resin releasing the seeds. So wildfires actually help the trees plant new ones!
