Due to carbon-rich vegetation, oxygen in the atmosphere, lightning strikes, volcanic activities, fires that start naturally can occur on Earth. One of the important causes of forest fires is people. There are many researches on biodiversity, human health and economic negative consequences of forest fires. However, forest fires have a global impact on processes in the ecosystem, such as the structure and distribution of the vegetation cover, the carbon cycle and the climate. Since forest fires increase carbon emissions, they also affect global climate systems. At the same time, heat, chemical gases and solid particles are released as a result of forest fires. These chemical gases and solid particles absorb the sun's rays and cause the average temperature of the Earth to increase by reducing the part of the energy coming from the Sun reflected by the atmosphere and the surface of the earth.
It is quite difficult to predict how forest fires that a small spark can initiate will spread. A spark that burns for days before the flame can turn into a disaster that can have devastating consequences with the effect of the wind. Especially in the summer, outdoor human activities increase. For example, a fire burned for the camp may leap to other regions under the influence of wind and cause fires that cause great damage. For this reason, it is necessary to avoid firing in windy weather. The primary way to combat forest fires is to avoid activities that may cause fire and to be careful.
