Forest Fire
A wildfire, forest fire, or a bushfire is an unplanned and uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation. Depending on the type of vegetation present, a wildfire may be more specifically identified as a bushfire ( in Australia), desert fire, grass fire, hill fire, peat fire, prairie fire, vegetation fire, or veld fire. Some natural forest ecosystems depend on wildfire. Modern forest management often engages in prescribed burns to mitigate fire risk and promote natural forest cycles. However, controlled burns can turn into wildfires by mistake. Wildfires can be classified by cause of ignition, physical properties, combustible material present, and the effect of weather on the fire. Wildfire severity results from a combination of factors such as available fuels, physical setting, and weather. Climatic cycles with wet periods that create substantial fuels, followed by drought and heat, often precede severe wildfires. These cycles have been intensified by climate cha ...

Forest Fire (song)
"Forest Fire" is a song by British band Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, released in 1984 as the second single from their debut studio album '' Rattlesnakes''. The song was written by Lloyd Cole and produced by Paul Hardiman. It peaked at number 41 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 75 for six weeks. Writing Cole first thought of the title at the age of 16 and made note of it for a future song. He told '' Record Mirror'' in 1984, "I thought the itlewas very evocative, though the idea of fire being synonymous with passion is nothing new." Cole then wrote and demoed the song during a weekend in 1983, in his room at Glasgow Golf Club, where his parents worked and lived. He demoed the track using a Portastudio, a DX7 and a drum machine, all of which the band had recently purchased after securing a publishing deal. The band signed to Polydor Records shortly after. Cole has described "Forest Fire" as "a straight love song" and told ''Record Mirror'' in 1984, "It's about ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
