There is much to talk these days about the importance of protecting the environment. Increasingly harms nature, specifically due to pollution and the negligent actions of man on the surrounding environment.

Forest fires are one of the underlying causes of environmental damage even in towns like San Antonio de los Baños, where the reforestation is prioritized, also the fire has been an enemy of the forest cover in farm yards and surrounding areas OF Ariguanabo Watershed and forest galleries.

 To reduce wildfire operates the Ranger Corps under the Ministry of Interior. In San Antonio de los Baños measures are taken in my point of view, necessary to mitigate damage or adverse consequences to the environment. For example, you should pay special attention to the realization of trails firewall defense lines wide enough so that the fire does not get pass them and prevent its spread, also avoid fires in wooded areas and not throw cigarette butts lighted greenery.

Consider that a forest fire is a fire that spreads out of control on fuel located in the mountains, like herbaceous species of trees, shrubs, scrub or, provided they are not characteristic of the agricultural crop and have no qualification of urban land. It affects therefore a vegetation that was not meant to burning and damage as a result of air pollution we breathe is produced, soil or water.

I consider extremely important to consider all the above, especially in these times of high temperatures and strong to moderate winds, which becomes significant possibility that a spark causing a fire.
