One way in which my community can prevent a significant amount of forest fires is to limit the amount of deforestation happening across all of the parks and forests. A large portion of all wildfires are caused by electric power lines used near the forests, so if we limit the amount of sporadic electricity near the forests for deforestation, the amount of forest fires will reduce drastically. Forest fires will affect the air quality and cause more pollution into our environment which affects factors such as tree growth and water pollution. The way we are going to limit this electricity causing fires and entering a vital part of our environments is to add a stopper/wall in the middle of the impact point between the tree and the power line to stop the fire from occurring. This will ensure that the power lines will not interfere with the environment at all.
