The opposite time and accumulated plants cause “impossible fire fires”

“For fires, vegetation is fuel. The more fuel, the easier it was to spread the fire through the scene and the most difficult, it contains. ” Thus, Jose Manuel Moreno, an academic environment scientist at the Royal Academy of Physical Sciences and Natural Sciences (RAC), has described the threat of great fires that destroy large extensions of land in different parts of the planet, during the celebration of the International Congress that combines the greatest experts in the world in this matter. He added: “Recently, we see that a mixture of very harmful weather conditions, along with a natural scene loaded with fuel that converge in high -density fires is impossible to extinguish.”

This was one of the main conclusions of the RAC meeting, as there was a conversation that the last major fires were registered, such as those suffering from January angels of this year, with a specificity that occurs in the appearance of horses between urban areas and urban areas. In California, the fire broke out from the adjacent mountain, and a flame arose that caused 29 deaths and the destruction of more than 16,000 homes.

An analysis of these incidents allows you to create models to predict how heat is spent under certain circumstances. Moreno said: “His previous knowledge allows urban planning that reduces risk,” in addition to organizing the meeting with the Interacademy partnership (IAP), a group of academies around the world, which also has the support of national academies of science, engineering and medicine in the United States.

Models to prevent

The list of disasters caused by the fire is long, and it shows that the fire penetrates the urban and rural areas, causing huge losses. In Pedrogao Grande (Portugal) in 2017, the pictures of entire families were besieged in their cars when they tried to be safe for the entire world. 67 people died.

Many modeling tools allow you to improve predictions for fire extinction services. “The ability of artificial intelligence to find very useful patterns, for example, identifying the most obvious types of homes to launch or more favorable models to spread fire.”

At the opening of the meeting, RAC President, Anna Crespo, thanked Rania Kosti, the executive director of IAP to elect Madrid to celebrate this event and defend the science contribution to society’s progress “providing knowledge, understanding natural risks and how to reduce it.”
