why government cannot stop fire in greece?

Question

PEOPLE HAVE EXISTED FOR 6,000 YEARS AND THEY STILL CANNOT STOP FOREST FIRE? IT IS STRANGE.
FIRE NEED OXYGEN, FUEL AND HEAT TO START. IF THEY REMOVE OXYGEN THEN FIRE CANNOT START. DO THEY HAVE A CHEMICAL THE SIZE OF THE HYDROGEN BOMB THAT CAN REMOVE OXYGEN A SIZE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD. I AM SURE THEY CAN STOP FIRE FROM SPREADING TO ALL FOREST THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL FIELD. MAYBE, THE US GOVERNMENT COULD COME UP WITH SUCH SUPER BOMB TO STOP FOREST FIRE. BUT FIRST WE MUST GET THOSE PEOPLE OUT BY LOUD SPEAKERS.

Answer 1

Actually we do have a weapon that pretty much removes all the oxygen from an area: its a fuel-air explosive weapon.
Fuel-air explosives represent the military application of the vapor cloud explosion and dust explosion accidents that have long bedeviled a variety of industries. An accidental fuel-air explosion may occur as a result of a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), for example when a tank containing liquified petroleum gas bursts. Silo explosions, caused by the ignition of finely-powdered atmospheric dust, are another example.

Fuel-air explosives disperse an aerosol cloud of fuel which is ignited by an embedded detonator to produce an explosion. The rapidly expanding wave front due to overpressure flattens all objects within close proximity of the epicenter of the aerosol fuel cloud, and produces debilitating damage well beyond the flattened area. The main destructive force of FAE is high pressure. More importantly, the duration of the overpressure gives it an edge over conventional explosives and makes fuel-air explosives useful against hard targets such as minefields, armored vehicles, aircraft parked in the open, and bunkers.

There are dramatic differences between explosions involving high explosives and vapor clouds at close distances. For the same amount of energy, the high explosive blast overpressure is much higher and the blast impulse is much lower than that from a vapor cloud explosion. The shock wave from a TNT explosion is of relatively short duration, while the blast wave produced by an explosion of hydrocarbon material displays a relatively long duration. The duration of the positive phase of a shock wave is an important parameter in the response of structures to a blast.

The effects produced by FAEs (a long-duration high pressure and heat impulse) are often likened to the effects produced by low-yield nuclear weapons, but without the problems of radiation. However, this is inexact; for all current and foreseen sub-kiloton-yield nuclear weapon designs, prompt radiation effects predominate, producing some secondary heating; very little of the nominal yield is actually delivered as blast. The significant injury dealt by either weapon on a targeted population is nonetheless great.

Obviously using FAEs for putting out forest fires is substantial overkill since it will destroy the forest and everything in it.

Answer 2

Actually, people have existed for substantially longer than 6,000 years. And we have ALWAYS had difficulty fighting wildfire.

You know those three things fire needs? People need them too, as well as others. We also need to not burn ourselves with the fire we are attempting to control. So it gets difficult to deny the fire the oxygen it needs without running out of oxygen ourselves.

And getting close enough and sticking around long enough to ensure that the fire is well and truly out puts people at risk of the burning part.

Answer 3

forests need fires to clean out and replenish. a bomb would be overkill. what about the animals that would've escaped if not for your bomb idea.

and maybe Greece is on fire because they were cooking too much.ha ha

Answer 4

Stealing by capacity of politicians did not reason the Greek monetary disaster, any money stolen grew to become into peanuts in comparison with the monetary device of a rustic. ok it grew to become into undesirable to scouse borrow however the difficulty is the state of the Greek monetary device by way of corruption by capacity of worry-free Greeks not in straightforward terms politicians. The state of the Greek monetary device is the fault of the Greek human beings, Greek industry , farming, monetary centers, etc .it incredibly is Greek corruption that's the difficulty . Greece is seventy one places down the CPI international corruption index (under) seem on the map of corruption interior the link, there's a correlation between corruption point of the persons and the monetary difficulty of any united states of america.it incredibly isn't any reliable in simple terms blaming some politicians even very undesirable ones.

Answer 5

...have you ever tried to put out a "Greece" fire...? It's really hard to do...
