Author’s Note: In our responses to the prairie we were supposed to state our opinion as to whether or not we should continue with controlled burns and whether or not we should fight to stop wild fires.
Should we continue with controlled burns?
I think we should continue with controlled burns. These prescribed fires reduce the excessive amount of brush and shrubs which are fuel for wild fires to spread. If we didn't manage the excess brush and shrubs as often, it would be hard to control accidental fires when they happen. Also the burns encourage the growth of native plant life by eliminating any hindrances and returning vital nutrients to the ground.
Should we fight to stop wildfires?
I think we should fight to stop wildfires because they're dangerous. Wildfires can kill people, animals, and destroy property. Preventing wildfires isn't that hard either. Just be careful when using fire when you're outside or near a wooded area.
