Forest Fires, the Causes, Effects, and How to Control It
The land and forest fires has increased over the last ten years. This is supported by the existence of climate change include El Nino. Drought as a result of El Nino has hit most parts of the world. El Nino causes a dry tropical forest drought, low rainfall causing litter and trees become dry, causing a forest fire simply because the number of available fuel. According to several studies and analyzes (CIFOR, 2006), the cause of forest fire is directly related to human behavior who want accelerated land preparation (land clearing) for preparation for planting of plantation commodities.
The spread of the fire depends on fuel and weather. Heavy fuels such as logs, branches milestones and wood can be burned in a dry state, although slow but generates high heat. Light fuel such as dry grass, pine leaves and litter, combustible and quickly spread, which in turn can cause forest fires / great land. Factors occurrence of a forest fire is because of the element of heat, fuel and air / oxygen. These three elements can be described in terms of the fire triangle. In principle, land and forest fire control is to eliminate one or more of these elements.
[...] Does not necessarily mean, however, that the fire control seriously is not done during the day. In fact due to various considerations, more fires tackled during the day. The air temperature also affects the firefighters, in a state of hot air, durability and workability firefighters decreases. In this method there are two options: First strike face fire with throwing materials, such as soil / mud / sand on the flames; The two begin to extinguish the fire from the back and moving forward through the two sides of the fire and the fire last master face.

[...] Other impacts of these fires include the transport sector, health, economic, ecological and social, including the nation's image in the eyes of neighboring countries and world. Controlling Fire Levels of water/ fuel moisture is also important to consider in controlling forest fires and land. In normal circumstances, the fire burning slowly at night because of the humidity absorbed by the fuel. Drier air during the day can lead to rapid fire. Therefore, technically at night would be easier to control forest fires / land than during the day. [...]
[...] Rehabilitation programs reeds like oil palm plantation development, forest industrial plants and rubber plantations can reduce the problem of fire and smoke in the long run. But in the short term, the fire is still used in land preparation activities. Bibliography [CIFOR] Center for International Forestry Research Forest Fires And Climate Change in Indonesia. [...]
[...] The bigger fire so the wind faster as a result of mass transfer in the dense air around the fire into the air space tenuous in the fire place. Forest fires can occur due to almost by accident or willful misconduct. Some of the causes of the accident were of lax than smokers, tourists, adventurers, forest workers and forest gatherers. In many cases, fires started from the deliberate use of fire by plantation development, plantation development, forest dwellers and cultivators who prepare their lands, hunter who wants to stimulate the growth of grass, hunters who lead animal hunted, collecting honey from the bees nest, and so on.
