"Controlled Fires"

Wildfires, "Controlled' wildfires specifically, they are said to help the environment and reduce chances for more extreme fires by eliminating hazardous fuels, but in reality they can cause more problems than they stop them. Fires are unpredictable and cannot be "Controlled," they can cause nearby homes to go up in flames and send smoke and ash into the air affecting residents near the area. Some may say they actually promote growth for trees and plants, but what science says is that fire actually does the exact opposite to plants and trees causing destruction to habitats and food for animals. Clearly controlled fires are a bad idea for the environment and people around us.
