Clear, easy-to-read text pairs with oversized, gripping photos to introduce readers to the basics of wildfires. Readers will learn why they happen, where they occur, and how they affect land. Types of wildfires are also explained, and a simple diagram illustrates the fire triangle. A Case Study chapter discusses the Peshtigo Fire of 1871, while a map aids comprehension. Firefighting and smoke jumpers, damage and cleanup work, safety methods, and preventive measures are also covered. "Breaking News" fact boxes appear throughout, and the book concludes with a "News Flash!" facts page. This compelling title will leave readers feeling more informed about the wildfires they hear about in the news. Features include a table of contents, a glossary with phonetic spellings, and an index. Big Buddy BOOKS is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
