Forest fires burn fast because they’re like a big, hungry monster. Imagine you’re in a forest, and there’s a fire on one side. The trees are all dry, and the wind is blowing, it feels like the fire has wings! When the wind pushes the fire forward, it eats more trees faster, making the whole forest burn like a big, bright flame.
Examples
- A forest fire moves fast because it’s like a dragon eating all the trees in one go. The wind helps blow the flames forward, making the dragon grow bigger.
- Forest fires burn fast because they’re like a big, hot wave moving through the trees. Dry leaves catch fire quickly, helping the wave grow stronger as it moves on.
