  • Kira,

    Be sure to proofread your summary as their are numerous errors. Consider typing your summary in Word and then copying it over as that will fix a lot of the issues. Also be sure to capitalize key words in your title and reply more frequently.

  • I think if other coutries send help it will help but not that much if they are moving so fast there will have to have lots of water and then it will take you days to get it out if they are going fast but then you got to paid them if they help.

  • I think it will effect it becasue it might sperd fast and get way out of controll and then they might now bealbe to get it stop becouse it might be so dry it will just keep going untell they can get it out but it will be hard 

  • Fires like this kills all the plants and the natural resources. It aslo takes land away from the many animals that live there. But eventually the land will regrow. Other countries around the area could send help and put out the fires around the area. Other countries could also donate to help fix houses. 

  • I think that there isn't a lot that they can do, besides getting help from other countries, which I don't think they need besides providing more people to help combat the flames.

  • I know that while fires are extremely destructive to the plants and animals alive now, they help kill off some of the bad weeds, allowing the different plants to regrow from the soil.

  • for some paces more densly populated it could be good and it stops over population but in newzealand it coud kill of a lot of animals and plants that are necesary for the enviroment.they could file a request with an allied government to come and aid with the fires and keep them under control and as well use a watering method to keep the plants wet.

  • It will kill all the plants and will probably affect the animals in the area too because it will kill their habitiat and their food source will be taken away. I agree, I think other countries will have to help them out in order to put the fires out because like they said they don't have enough fire trucks.

  • 1. - I think it most definately will have destroyed several homes for animals and ecosystems will definately be effected by this. We could potentially see migration of some animals and wildlife that will change the landscape for sure. Many plants will die also which could create more problems. 

    2. - They could increase their respone units like fire and rescue, and areal containment along with law enforcment. This way they could handle the situation better, and faster so that it was contained to a minimum before it spread to what it is now. 

  • The fires kill all the plants and animals in its path, and the forest are destroyed for years which leaves most of the animals without a habitat. I think that other countries need to get involved, and send large amounts of water, and maybe some people to help run the fire trucks.
