Forest fires, brush fires, and slash and burn agriculture - types of biomass burning - are a significant force for environmental change, both locally and globally. Intentional deforestation by burning radically alters local landscapes. At regional scales, fires naturally shape ecosystems such as the boreal forest (Canada, Alaska, and Russia) and chapparral (Southern California). Globally, fires may play an important role in climate change, emitting both greenhouse gases and smoke particles (aerosols) into the atmosphere.

Forests cover almost one third of the Earth's land surface. These areas provide food and shelter for many animals, and people also frequent them to vacation, hike, camp, or simply appreciate the beauty of nature. The trees in forests are used for many things, including fuel and medicine. Along with plants, trees help to put oxygen into the air so we can breathe. One of the largest threats a forest faces is fire.
