is there a forest fire in canada
A forest fire is a moving combustion reaction, spreading outwards in a band from its ignition point, leaving burned-out forest behind it. On average, about 7,600 forest fires occur annually in Canada. Of Canadaâs approximately 7,600 annual fires, just over half are started by people, most by accident, and just under half by lightning. Being generally less accessible, fires started by lightning are about 10 times as large as human-caused fires.
