Why do firefighters who are trying to control and extinguish a wildfire sometimes light controlled fires in specific places?
Answer The controlled fires burn up potential fuel for the main fire, starving it of energy.
By lighting carefully controlled fires, firefighters destroy fuel that could help the large, main wildfire advance.
