It is a common observation that during the recent past, the intensity and frequency of forest fires have increased at an alarming rate globally. Forest fires created havoc and devastated huge forests and other property across the world over the past few years. The huge fire in Australian forests spanning 2019-20 captured world attention, due to the killing of a large number of wild animals. During the early phase of the first wave of COVID-19, fires burned large forest tracts in Colorado and Arizona. Boreal and Tundra forests in Siberia also witnessed large forest fires in the recent past. – Reproduced
