US - Jul 13, 2026 - United States spent nearly a century extinguishing almost every forest fire, but scientists now say the policy left forests primed for today's larger and more destructive megafires - Decades of fire suppression have significantly altered forest structures and increased megafire risk. Years of putting out fires created an accumulation of flammable material on forest floors. This policy disrupted natural cycles, making forests more vulnerable to intense wildfires. Experts now advocate for treating fire as a natural part of ecosystem management. Active fuel reduction and controlled burns can help restore ecological balance and resilience.
