NICC Day 3 Significant Fire Potential #NIFC #NICC #wildfires #firewx
In Tornadoes and wildfires, we dread,
Forty lives lost, many tears shed,

Leaves a devastating stage,
United, may we rise and spread hope instead.

What causes the powerful #winds that fuel #duststorms, #wildfires and #blizzards? A #weather #scientist explains
"The perception of #fire as a universal threat to society and #ecosystems has led to a widespread perception that fire should be suppressed at all costs, regardless of the type of fire. This misleading belief that fire is a controllable artefact, rather than a natural process intrinsic to ecosystem dynamics, has been enhanced by media misinformation and biased debates."
