Today there are many more fires than in the past. Over 100 000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20 000 to 35 000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60 000 each year. These fires destroy(损害) huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.

Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightning strikes(发生雷击), dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2 000 homes. Some people lost their lives.

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fires. They didn’t allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means more fuel for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, firefighters even start fires to get rid of dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11,I got into the biggest trouble as a kid.It was a Saturday morning.Both my parents were out,leaving me and my 10—month—old sister alone.Anyway,my sister was still asleep in her room.In fact I had the house to myself.I decided to do some drawing.Soon I gave up.Nothing was on TV,so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf.I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well,of course it went on fire,but it wasn't the tiny flame (火苗).I'd expected,and I couldn't blow it out.I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad's boots (靴子) and.Stamped it out

I thought I was safe until there was a hole in my room.When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately.She dropped the shopping bag,luckily for me,over the hole.I thought this meant she would never see it.However,after running round the house checking for a fire,she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole.Next I was grounded (关禁闭) and in trouble for months.Even though,the hole was still there,reminding me of what I did.
