 Description:  A bushfire looks like a really big fire the colour of the bushfire could be dark orange, very dark red, red or blue. Most of the times the trees that are on fire fall down.

 Causes:  A bushfire is caused by a person smoking and chucking it in the bush and it gets bigger and bigger or it could be the weather when it gets REALLY hot and then it turns into a bushfire. 

 Effect:  A bushfire could burn down communities, schools, bushes, forests, shops, homes, families, friends, pets and more. The worst bushfire was in Victoria this year (2009) 130 people found dead and 750 homes were destroyed by the bushfire.  How the disaster is forecast:  The disaster could be forecast by really hot weather, droughts, people not hosing their plants and much much more. 

 Preventative measure:  <span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; msobidifontfamily: Arial;">What you need to do is clean the gutters, hose the house to keep it cool, chop the trees and make sure you have a hose close by so if you see a little fire a bushfire hose the fire and call triple 0 (000).
