Dear sir madam

I am writing in connection with an article I read on your newspaper about forest fires as
I am seriously concerned about the issue. I firmly believe forest fires are big
catastrophes with disastrous effects on people and the environment.
There are different causes for wildfires. Some of them are, of course, natural such as
lightning. However, most commonly are started by human negligence. Intentional arson,
unattended campfires and controlled agricultural burns have caused a number of
massive fires. Whether is caused by human carelessness or naturally occurring, the
notable effect is the destruction of houses and fields. In order to protect people, homes
and environment evacuation and prevention plans should be set
As forest fires are part of nature they have a important role in maintaining the balance of
the ecosystem. Actually, they are useful to clean the forest from harmful insects and
diseased plants. An added benefit is an increase of(in) sunlight which enables the
growth of new plants. But there is a substantial difference on the effects, when the
frequency is too high it will have devastating impact on the ecosystem, not only
stopping the natural cycle of these forests, but also encouraging growth of fire resistant
plants which are normally invasive species.
Moreover, I would like to stress that fires are polluting the air with emissions that are
harmful to human health. Fires also releases carbon dioxide in the atmospheres, the
most important greenhouse gas, which is responsible for the global warming that our
planet is suffering..
In conclusion, wildfires have many purposes in nature, sometimes positive and
sometimes negative, depending on the frequency and the cause. Nevertheless, if we
wanted a sustainable future in my opinion, humans need to become aware and educated
of the consequences of their negligence.

focused on helping in fire prevention and elimination, ensuring that there is coordinated
plan with resources.
