How do Bushfires affect you? (The effects of a bushfire)


Bushfires are one of many natural disasters that can have critical effects on human and animals. Bushfires are known to cause many damage and destroy what’s in its path. They will burn anything combustible and this will cause many man made structural to be damaged. A bushfire then can result in millions of dollars in damage and usually the recovery process is long and expensive. A bushfire can also isolate the community since that they all need time to recover from the fire. But a bushfire can also help communities get closer together and allow them to develop closer relationship. This allows communities to pick up from where they are and rebuild the community quickly. Bushfires also can damage the environment badly not just by burning down bushland but also bushfires releases a lot of carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere. Bushfires can also kill a lot of animals an especially the slow moving ones which can’t get away from the fire fast enough. But bushfires are a necessary in the natural environment as it is needed for some plants to grow. As some plant seeds only grow after a bushfire. This will kill of the old dead plants and give way to new plants to take their place.
