Wildfires are scorching the dry areas of the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦. It's becoming harder to contain them, but why is it so hard 😕 to put out wildfires? The Ratgeber will give you a few interesting reasons 🤔 ...
Reason 1: Wildfires mostly start in very remote areas, and so humans don't detect them until they are already flourishing and out of control.
Reason 2: It takes specialized air and ground vehicles to fight these uncontrolled fires 🔥, and not all areas have those instantly available, especially not unremote ones.To add, the wildfires often start in very dry areas so they always have a new source of kindling to build on.
Reason 3: It's very hard to attack the core of wildfires. Firefighters 🚒 also have to be at the perimeter of the blaze and stop it 🛑 from spreading. They hope that the fire doesn't spread anymore and the fire burns itself out.
