Okay we're officially the stupidest people on the planet when we have to have fire explained to us. 😵

"it will only get worse"...we must change

[hydrolito]

Removing dried out leaves and dried out trees would lessen chances for fire to advance.

Directed energy weapons.
True, look it up!

They don't manage the land. Gavin will stop it with an anti fire bill.

can't we preemptively use the fire retardant in key burn areas???
How many generations will it take to recover what is lost?

[justbe]

Isn't anyone raking the forest?!?

next generation firefighting vehicles (off road, self protection systems, + crew protection)
iveco magirus TLF 3000-W
renault iturri TLF CCFM 3000

need more firefighters, more vehicles (more fire trucks), more firefighting helicopters, more pilots, new pilots (education?),
undestroyable water reservoir tanks? water storage tanks (across the country, near streets, near forests, inside forests etc + GPS tracking?), many of those,
additional equipment? handheld thermal cameras? (detection of hidden hot spots etc, + mobile infrared cameras could locate people or wounded animals in smoke-filled areas), infrared cameras with extended temperature range?, flying camera drones? (wide area surveillance), wearing portable radios for all firefighters.
become a financial supporter?

become a volunteer firefighter? (+ driver? (pump operator), become an instructor? (fire and rescue?, emergency medical services?, advanced driving techniques?, advanced first aid? animal rescue?)
+ caution corona etc?


water springs and drinking fountains (in switzerland) = less dehydration.
many water dispensers? = less dehydration.
bird baths or fresh water fountains? thirsty animals need water 2?


shade ideas for outdoor space?
create multiple shaded spaces? (to find relief from the heat)
shaded walkway ideas? (designs: wide, cool, beautiful, simple etc)
public space shading canopy kit?
check this out: Hajj Terminal (bioclimatic design, architecture)
+ caution corona etc? keep distance etc?

passive fire protection? (for buildings etc)
fire protective coatings? (or anti corrosion?), intumescent paint or coating?, fire retardant paints or sprays?, heat-resistant coatings?,
cementitious waterproofing coatings? (these coatings can prevent damage from mold, mildew and water infiltration)
fire suppression systems? smoke extraction? fire doors? fire-resistant Construction materials? cavity barriers? fire barriers? (prevent fire and smoke from spreading) fire partition walls etc, hose and cable sleeving protection? (thermal insulation for electric wires, cables, hoses, tubes and hydraulic systems)

smoke detectors with LCD display? (batteries working? detectors working? checked?), + CO detectors?, fire blankets?, fire extinguisher? (the right one), fire beaters? sprinkler systems? (near buildings? in parks? farms etc), water hose?, bucket? ( + caution electricity)
SPARS New High Rise Rescue Solution? or fire escape hoods + fire resistant clothing?
Highrise rescue solutions: 4 Fire Escape Chutes? (locations: north east south west side of a building)

animal rescue solutions? (farms, barns, shelters etc) smoke detectors? loud enough? will you hear it? Industrial Emergency Fire Alarm Systems? + Surveillance Camera Solutions? improved fire escape routes for animals?! systems? (in barns, horse barns, + animal shelters etc) (directions: north east south west) away from fire !

Revelation 16 NIV - The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath ?? read it ?


forest management? (pre crisis phase / crisis phase / post crisis phase)
natural firebreaks + fire barriers
gigantic partition walls in forests? (fireproof) + some passages (for animals etc)
watering vegetation? = slow down the spread of fire?
maintain your wild lands, brush, forest floors etc
use bulldozers to remove flammable materials?

causes of fire
space junk (radiation or heat), glass bottles, broken bottles + shards, old trash, waste?, cigarettes (drivers who throw their cigarettes out the window, cigarette butts thrown into nature, + cigarette butts are toxic plastic pollution + cigarette butts leach toxic chemicals into water), matches, braziers, barbecues, cooking in nature etc, lightnings, tractor, truck exhaust pipes, + other vehicle exhaust pipes? mufflers? or other vehicle parts?, railway brakes + wheels, motorbike, scooter, motorcycle catalyst converter, exhausts = causes of fire??
