A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that burns in the
wildland vegetation, often in rural areas. Wildfires can burn in
forests, grasslands, savannas, and other ecosystems, and have
been doing so for hundreds of millions of years. They are not
limited to a particular continent or environment.
Wildfires can burn in vegetation located both in and above the
soil. Ground fires typically ignite in soil thick with organic
matter that can feed the flames, like plant roots. Ground
fires can smolder for a long time—even an entire season—
until conditions are right for them to grow to a surface
or crown fire. Surface fires, on the other hand, burn in dead or
dry vegetation that is lying or growing just above the ground.
Parched grass or fallen leaves often fuel surface fires. Crown
fires burn in the leaves and canopies of trees and shrubs.
Some regions, like the mixed conifer forests of California’s
Sierra Nevada mountain range, can be affected by different
types of wildfires. Sierra Nevada forest fires often include
both crown and surface spots.
Wildfires can start with a natural occurrence—such as a
lightning strike—or a human-made spark. However, it is often
the weather conditions that determine how much
a wildfire grows. Wind, high temperatures, and little rainfall
can all leave trees, shrubs, fallen leaves, and limbs dried out
and primed to fuel a fire. Topography plays a big part too:
flames burn uphill faster than they burn downhill.
Wildfires that burn near communities can become dangerous
and even deadly if they grow out of control. For example, the
2018 Camp Fire in Butte County, California destroyed almost
the entire town of Paradise; in total, 86 people died.
Still, wildfires are essential to the continued survival of some
plant species. For example, some tree cones need to be heated
before they open and release their seeds; chaparral plants,
which include manzanita, chamise (Adenostoma
fasciculatum), and scrub oak (Quercus berberidifolia), require
fire before seeds will germinate. The leaves of these plants
include a flammable resin that feeds fire, helping the plants to
propagate. Plants such as these depend on wildfires in order to
pass through a regular life cycle. Some plants require fire
every few years, while others require fire just a few times a
century for the species to continue.
Wildfires also help keep ecosystems healthy. They can kill
insects and diseases that harm trees. By clearing scrub and
underbrush, fires can make way for new grasses, herbs, and
shrubs that provide food and habitat for animals and birds. At
a low intensity, flames can clean up debris and underbrush on
the forest floor, add nutrients to the soil, and open up space to
let sunlight through to the ground. That sunlight can nourish
smaller plants and give larger trees room to grow and flourish.
While many plants and animals need and benefit
from wildfires, climate change has left some ecosystems more
susceptible to flames, especially in the southwest United
States. Warmer temperatures have intensified drought and
dried out forests. The historic practice of putting out all fires
also has caused an unnatural buildup of shrubs and debris,
which can fuel larger and more intense blazes.
