Synopsis
The book introduces readers to the basics of wildfires. Readers will learn why they happen, where they occur, and how they affect land. Types of wildfires are also explained, and a simple diagram illustrates the fire triangle. A Case Study chapter discusses the Peshtigo Fire of 1871, while a map aids comprehension. Firefighting and smoke jumpers, damage and cleanup work, safety methods, and preventive measures are also covered.
