Brush and wildfires are often a problem throughout the United States. Drought and other environmental dangers make land more vulnerable to fires and as a result cause extreme damage. From February 11th to the 14th, Charlotte fire fighters fought more than 20 brush fires throughout the region. The serious damage lied in the burning of the soil and damage to farm land and forests; though the damage could have been much worse. The fires were caused by high humidity, high winds, dry weather and hot temperatures. Could these have been prevented with controlled burning? This could possibly be true, but no one really would expect such a natural disaster to occur in this region at this time of year.
