Fort McMurray and the Fires of Climate Change
The wildfire lasted for two months in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada, and it started to be under control by July 5th, 2016. The wildfire spread cross 590,000 hectares (1500,000 acres) from the edge of the southwest of Fort McMurray to the northern Alberta, and finally stopped in Saskatchewan, a province with prairie and boreal that bordering the west of Alberta.

Give 5 key primary impacts to do with the California 2018 wildfire. 1. 97 civilians and six firefighters were killed in wildfires. 2. By the 9th of November, 10,321 structures had been destroyed by the fire. 3. 8527 total fires occurred over the duration of the wildfire period. 4.
Case Study: The Camp Fire
The Camp Fire, California's most destructive wildfire in history, burned in Butte County from November 8 through November 25, 2018, claiming at least 86 lives and causing an estimated $16.5 billion in damage. It burned more than 18,000 buildings, including the majority of the town of Paradise.
PDF Wildfire: The Camp Fire in Paradise CS1
The Camp Fire started at approximately 5:30 a.m. on November 8, 2018. The location of the fire was near Pulga Road (see ★ on map below), east of the town of Paradise, in Butte County. The fire was started by downed power lines due to high winds. Dry grass and leaves, pine needles, twigs, and other dead brush fueled the fire as it began to grow.
Case Study: Climate Change and the Risk of Wildfires in Canada
Wildland fire management includes fire preventions, mitigations, detection, and response to forest fires. The annual national cost of forest fire protection has increased by about $150 million per decade since data collection started in 1970 reaching close to 1.5 billion dollars in 2017 or about $40 person.

Case Study - Black Summer Bushfires, Australia Background. The 2019-20 bushfire season began in September 2019 and ended in March 2020; It was one of most devastating wildfire seasons in Australian history; The fires burned over 20 million hectares of land and it is estimated that over 1 billion animals were killed

Wildfires
A wildfire is an uncontrolled burn of vegetation, which includes the burning of forests, shrublands and grasslands, savannas, and croplands.. Wildfires can be caused by human activity — such as arson, unattended fires, or the loss of control of planned burns — and natural causes, such as lightning.. The spread of wildfires, once ignited, is determined by a range of factors, such as the ...

Camp Fire (2018)
The Camp Fire in 2018 was one of the most damaging wildfires in US history and was the most damaging wildfire in California history. Such an event affords a chance to study and learn lessons that can hopefully be applied to similar hazards in the future. Using the Camp Fire as a case study, the research will follow a sort of PAR model format ...
Alberta wildfire case study
Alberta wildfire case study. 1 the spatial and temporal setting of the event The Alberta wildfire started on the first of May 2016 and began at the southwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. The wildfire spread across northern Alberta and into Saskatchewan and burnt 589,552 hectares (1,456,810 acres) in total.
Geography A level AQA Case Studies- Alberta wildfires 2016
the total population consists of... 90,000 residents, in a relatively remote area surrounded by forest -> low population density makes it more vulnerable. Wildfires are a natural event; meaning... we are unable to stop natural cycle. 90,000 evacuated/displaced, and 2,400... homes/structures burnt down- Jobs, livelihoods were restricted this way.
Wildfires are making their way east—where they could be much deadlier
The study points to examples like the 2016 Gatlinburg fire in Tennessee, which, although less than a tenth of the size of the Camp Fire, destroyed nearly 2,500 structures and killed 14 people.
