Why is there fire in the forests of Uttarakhand?
Forest is present in 44.5 percent area of Uttarakhand state. According to the Indian Forest Survey, the forest area of the state is spread over about 24,305 square km. Prolonged dry weather and excess biomass are major factors responsible for fires here. On the other hand, if we talk about natural phenomena, incidents of fire are also seen due to sparks generated due to dry trees or bamboo rubbing against each other, which is called forest fire. Besides, forest fires also occur due to lightning. Apart from this, pine trees, which are considered highly inflammable, are also present in 3.94 lakh hectares in the state, which further promotes fire.
