Humans start most of the wildfires and people can help in many different ways. People can help prevent wildfires by not smoking, shooting 4th of July fireworks carefully, and can also conserve energy. This is how people can help decrease the chance of a wildfire to start, wildfires in the forests.

Smoking is one way to start a wildfire. This is because if leftover fire from a cigarette is thrown on dry land then the grass will catch on fire. One way to solve this problem is to make sure that the cigarette is turned off all the way because then it might catch on dry grass and will start a wildfire. Another way how wildfires start is that we shoot 4th of July fireworks carelessly and they land on mountains and the firework burns down the whole mountain in a flash. People can reduce the amount of wildfires created by 4th of July fireworks by shooting them in a certain area that is controlled. People can also help by not wasting energy. If we waste energy it gives heat into the air. This creates a hole in the ozone layer, which lets sun rays come in directly. This will cause global warming, which makes our planet hotter. Wildfires also start when the weather is extremely hot. So, saving energy will help not start wildfires.

People can help decrease wildfires by turning cigarettes all the way off, shooting 4th of July fireworks in a resonated area, and by also saving energy. We need to reduce wildfires because wildfires can spread very quickly. Wildfires are bad because they can burn down trees and there will be less oxygen because trees give us oxygen. Wildfires can also spread down to places where people live becausewildfires spreadwherever there dry grass is so it is dangerous for people who live near dry grass or on dry grass. Though, these ways do not completely get rid of fires though they decrease the chance of us having one.
