Brogans Forrest fire innovations project Here I will be posting my research and findings on forest fires and I will let you know how you can

2.3 Summary
This post is all about notes I have taken about Forest fires and how they spread rough homes. If a spark happens in the presence of oxygen and fuel—such as dry grass, brush, or trees—a fire can start.

And conditions in the weather and environment can cause the fire to spread quickly.

Fires need lots of fuel to grow. Unfortunately, overgrown forests and thick vegetation can fuel a fire to grow out of control.

The weather can also make fire worse. For example, drought, winds and extreme heat can make a fire bigger, faster and more dangerous.

But before taking action, firefighters need to understand where a fire is—and how exactly these environmental and weather conditions will affect the fire.

With a view from high above Earth, weather satellites such as NOAA’s GOES satellites can provide information to help firefighters—and the rest of us—stay safe.

With their special vision, weather satellites like GOES can detect fire and smoke—and see the heat of very small fires—before they are spotted on the ground.

Meteorologists also use data from GOES satellites to give firefighters an up-to-the-minute forecast of changing wildfire conditions.
2.3 Summary
Smoke from a fire can cause poor visibility for the helicopters and airplanes that are used to fight fires.

It can also cause bad air quality, which is unhealthy for the people who live and work nearby.

GOES satellites monitor this smoke and can help firefighters determine when it will be safe to fly—and when it’s safe for anyone to spend time outside.

Wildfires can be really scary.

2.3 Summary
Here is another interview of a victim:

Amber Toney and her mother Susan Miller filmed their escape from the devastating Camp Fire in Paradise. The two spoke with CNN’s Dan Simon about the experience.

Video recorded by Toney shows her trying to calm Miller as she drives through traffic with flames on both sides of the road.
“It’s OK mama, oh God. Please, please drive, just please drive,” Toney says in a shaky voice.

“I’m trying,” Miller, 59, says through sobs.

Later in the video, Toney continues trying to calm her mom.

“It’s OK, mama,” Toney says.

“I’m so scared,” Miller responds.

Miller said she’ll have nightmares for the rest of her life because of the experience.

“This was a bucket list I never wanted, of things I’ve hoped to have never gone through,” she said.

Toney said as the two drove through flames, she thought the tires and car were going to melt.

“How can God take a town away that’s called Paradise?” Toney asked.

Jerry Krucell, Toney’s grandfather, made a separate journey to safety.

“I’m homeless at 82 years of age, and that makes it hard,” he said.

Paradise Mayor Jody Jones said 80% to 90% of homes in residential neighborhoods are gone following the Camp Fire.

“Where we had beautiful trees, it’s now black,” Miller said.

2.3 Summary
Here is an interview with a victim from a fire,

Nichole Jolly, a nurse at a hospital in Paradise, California, told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin about her harrowing escape from a deadly wildfire.

Jolly thought her life was over as flames surrounded her car, filling it with smoke. Then, she called her husband.“I called him and said
‘Nick, I’m gonna die and I’m not gonna make it out of here, there are just flames everywhere and I don’t know what to do,’” she said.

She recalled her husband urging her to run.

“He said ‘Don’t die, run. If you’re going to die, die fighting, you have to run.’”

Jolly said she jumped out of her car and ran. A lack of oxygen along with ash and hot embers getting into her eyes made it hard to escape.

“I put my hand out and I closed my eyes,” she said. “I ended up touching the back of a fire truck. I got over to the side of the fire truck, knocked on the doors … and two firemen came out, picked me up and put me in their fire engine, and put a fire blanket on the windows. It was just amazing.”

But her ordeal wasn’t over. The firefighters said they needed air support or they wouldn’t make it. Then, “out of nowhere,” Jolly said she saw a bulldozer clear a path for the group.

Jolly says when she arrived to work, she and the other nurses had to stay busy helping others.

“We didn’t think about ourselves and our possessions that we just lost.”

Here are the 8 of the 15 states that were hit hardest by wildfires last year. Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Texas, Alaska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Florida. Total acres burned: 99,413 Total number of fires: 2,381 Burned acreage as a proportion of total land area: 0.29% Human-caused fire acreage as a proportion of total fire acreage: 57.7%. We need to lessen the impact and the number of fires that happen each year. Spread awareness! Stay strong!

Need some more ways to prevent fires, outside or inside? Here you go!
-Avoid unattended or careless use of candles. No open flames are allowed inside any Tufts University building.
Keep BBQ grills at least 10 feet from the house. Never store the grill with the propane tank inside your house. Propane vapors are heavier than air and any leak of the gas would travel down to an ignition source, such as a pilot light or electrical arc, that would initiate an explosion that would be fatal to anyone inside the house.
-Do not disable smoke or CO detectors. These are life-saving devices that will give you an early warning of a life-threatening event. Carbon monoxide, CO, is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas (known as the Silent Killer) that is the most abundant deadly byproduct of fire. Tampering, covering, disabling fire detection devices is a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment and a fine and University disciplinary action.
-Do not smoke indoors. Smoking is prohibited in all Tufts University buildings. Smoking will result in the removal of the offender from campus housing.
-Do not leave your cooking unattended. Cooking is the number one cause of residential fires. Unattended cooking increases the chance of a stovetop fire. Watch what you heat and never overheat cooking oils. Should a flash fire occur in a pan, carefully slide a cover over the pan to smother the fire. DO NOT move it to the sink or apply water to it, this will cause the flaming oil to splash and spread the fire to surrounding areas.

Welcome back! Today we will be learning on easy and fast ways to not start human related fires. Obey local laws regarding open fires, including campfires. Keep all flammable objects away from fire. Have firefighting tools nearby and handy. Carefully dispose of hot charcoal. Drown all fires. Carefully extinguish smoking materials. Make sure you are a trained professional on how to maintain a safe and friendly fire.

Welcome to my first Post! Today I will be talking about how forest fires start. A fire needs three things: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Sometimes, fires occur naturally, ignited by heat from the sun or a lightning strike. However, most wildfires are because of human carelessness such as arson, campfires, discarding lit ci******es, not burning debris properly, playing with matches or fireworks.
