Controlled burns can turn into wildfires if they escape containment lines.

Pełniejszy materiał źródłowy / excerpt

A wildfire, forest fire, brushfire or a bushfire is an unplanned and uncontrolled fire in an area of combustible vegetation. Some natural forest ecosystems depend on wildfire. Modern forest management often engages in prescribed burns to mitigate fire risk and promote natural forest cycles. Controlled burns can turn into wildfires if they escape containment lines. Wildfires can be classified by cause of ignition, physical properties, combustible material present, and the effect of weather on the fire. Wildfire severity results from a combination of factors such as available fuels, physical setting, and weather. Climatic cycles with wet periods that create substantial fuels, followed by drought and heat, often precede severe wildfires. These cycles have been intensified by climate change, and can be exacerbated by curtailment of mitigation measures (such as budget or equipment funding), or sheer enormity of the event. Wildfires are a common disaster in many parts of the world, for example in Russia (Siberia), the United States (for example in California, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Florida), Canada and Australia. Wildfires can severely impact humans and their settlements. Effects in…

“As these fresh lines fade”: Narratives of containment and escape in Peter Carey’s <i>Jack Maggs</i>. Drawing on recent work on settler colonialism, which emphasizes the ambivalence with which settler societies negotiated the complex ties between metropole and colony, this essay examines how such ambivalence is played out on multiple levels in Peter Carey’s Jack Maggs, his postcolonial response to Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. This occurs both through the process of simultaneous resistance and accommodation that happens as Jack Maggs and Tobias Oates struggle for ownership of Maggs’ story, which breaches the gap between England and Australia, and through the analogous process whereby…
