And the only thing you could do is to rebuild the community. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024401 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024402 1. The structure of the house can be different, for example, don;t make houses out of woods, instead metals,or other not flammable materials.
2. The respond of the fire fighter could be faster. 
3. Each of the house near any forest or large fields, should prepare a fire extinguisher in their houses.
4. Make sure you have an emergency kit, with meidical help, local phone, food, water, etc. 
5. berofre you leave the house filled  the hot tub, garbage can, sinks, or pools anything that can hold water. That might slow the fire down or even stop it. 
6. Close all windows, vents, and doors to prevent a draft.
7.Shut off natural gas, propane, or fuel oil supplies.
8.Remove combustibles, including firewood, yard waste, barbecue grills, and fuel cans, from your yard.

1. No smoking in the forest - 4/5 wildfire were started by human. If we don't smoke in the forest then the not extinguish cigarette won became the heat for the wildfire to form. 
2. Make sure the campfire is extinguished when you leave the campsite - If you don't make sure the campfire is extinguished, it is very likely that the campfire could light any flammable objects.
3. Try not to use any fire in the forest or when you finish please make sure the fire is extinguished.
4. contact 911, or local fire department if you saw an uncontrollable fire.

It only needs three things, oxygen, heat, fuel. Four out of five wildfire are started because of human causes , and the natuer is more the happy to help the flames. Once the fire is started the strong wind will spread the fire really fast. And because of Alberta's climate is hot when it is summer and kind of dry, which helped the fire to find fuel around that community. Dry weather and drought converted green vegetation into flammable fuel. which make the fire become larger and larger. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024404 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024405 Wildfire is an uncontrollable fire that is wiping out of forests or large fields. There many reason that is causing it, there are nature cause and human cause. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024405 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024406 Climate region: continental
Climate: always dry and hot summer cold winter. 
A lots of forest, and lots of green vegetation. (hich eventually turned into fuels for wildfire)

I think it is necessary for us to learn more about the wild fire and Alberta because we are close to it, and also we could learn about it and know how to help after the disaster. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024407 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024408 on May 1st 2016, a wild fire took place in Fort McMurray. On May 3rd the fire swept through the community around it and forming the largest wild fire in Alberta's history. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165024408 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165025561 The nature cause of wildfire only needs three things. Heat, oxygen, and fuel. Fuel is any flammable stuff you can find in that community like dead leaf, trees, branches etc. And the heat could be anything, the hot temperature, lightning strikes etc. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165025561 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165025774 The human cause of wild fire could be anything, it only needs three things like the nature cause does. Fuel, oxygen, and heat. All the definition of them are the same, but what is different is the heat is different. The human cause's heat could be like burning cigarette, leftover campfire, etc. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165025774 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165028498 The damages of wildfire could be a lot. For example, the wildfire in Fort McMurray, the wildfire damage is way more than you think. It destroyed 2,400 homes and building, and another 2,000 residents in another community near it. If you don;t understand that then let me convert the houses to money. 4,400 houses = $3.58 billion damages were caused. And the direct and indirect cost of the government was $9.5 Billion, imagine that. And the wild fire in Fort Mcmurray burned 589,552 hectares which is equals to 1,456,810 acres. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/165028498 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/166297346 - broadleaf deciduous forests

That was the biggest Wildfire Canada has ever had in centuries. Well Wildfire fire is pretty serious, it could create a pretty bad damage. So today I am here to tell you more about wildfire and a response plan for wildfire. ]]> 2017-04-13 19:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/166320387 349021260 https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/166333078 2017-04-13 22:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/349021260/knwg0ywm8qsq/wish/166333078
