Scenarios about 'bushfires'
Bushfires are large, uncontrolled fires that spread rapidly through vegetation in rural and forested areas, particularly prevalent in Australia, Mediterranean regions, and parts of North America. These natural disasters have shaped settlement patterns, land management practices, and emergency response systems throughout history, while also playing an ecological role in many fire-adapted ecosystems. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to land management, climate patterns, or technological development could significantly alter the frequency and impact of these devastating events.
