What is Zombie Fire?

Zombie fire is such a mysterious fire that it is very difficult to extinguish it. It is a natural fire that keeps burning for years and it is almost impossible to extinguish it completely. In such a situation, the question arises that how does this fire keep burning and why is it so difficult to control it? Let us know about this unique fire in detail.

What is a zombie fire?: Zombie fire is a fire that continues to smolder slowly inside the ground or in the roots of trees even after the forest fire is extinguished. When the forest fire is extinguished, some parts remain hot. These hot parts, such as the roots of trees or the fire hidden inside the soil, continue to smolder and take the form of a zombie fire. This fire is not visible, but keeps smoldering inside and can take the form of a big fire at any time.

Why is zombie fire so dangerous?: Zombie fire is considered dangerous because it is hidden underground. This makes it very difficult to identify and extinguish it. This fire spreads very slowly and people often do not notice it. Since its flames are not visible, people can take it lightly, but even in its smoldering state, this fire can cause great damage.

In addition, zombie fires reduce soil fertility and increase carbon dioxide emissions, which is dangerous for the environment. Also, it damages forests and also promotes climate change.

Where do zombie fires occur?: Zombie fires often occur in areas where there is a high probability of forest fires. Such fires are more commonly seen in the Arctic region where temperatures are rising due to global warming. Apart from this, incidents of zombie fires are also common in boreal forests (forests found in the Northern Hemisphere) and swampy areas. In these areas, the fire continues to smolder underground for a long time, making it more dangerous.

How can we prevent zombie fire?: To avoid zombie fire, first of all, measures should be taken to prevent forest fire. For this, it is very important to spread awareness and follow safety rules. Satellite technology can be used to identify zombie fire, which can identify the fire smoldering inside the ground. Special equipment and techniques are needed to extinguish it, because it is not like a normal fire that can be extinguished immediately by pouring water.
