Abstract

With the intensification of the greenhouse effect and the global warming of temperature, California fires are more and more frequent. However, if we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we need to try to solve the greenhouse effect and eliminate greenhouse gases. But it is difficult to solve the greenhouse effect. Therefore, this paper tries to use other methods and means to slow down the frequency of fire and reduce the harm caused by fire. By tracing the source of fires in California for many years, this paper finds out the human causes behind most of the fires in California, including burning debris, human activities and old wires. And in the article, the reasons are analyzed one by one to find a one-to-one appropriate solution, including actively burning some combustibles to generate a controllable fire, unmanned aerial vehicle fire extinguishing, etc. To minimize the threat to people's safety and property loss caused by California fire.
