- Bushfires are fuelled from vegetation which could be above or below the surface.
- People help prevent bushfires spreading by clearing debris and vegetation. A common form of clearing is back burning, where a controlled fire is burnt towards the fire threat to reduce the fuel load.
- The smoke from bushfires normally contain carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and formaldehyde.
- According to the Inquirer News, bushfires kill 339,000 people every year.
- The worst bushfire recorded in the last 150 years was the Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin and Michigan in the US, killing at least 1200 people.
