Just as with any lush growth, a garden, or grounds, forests have to be trimmed and tended. Nature's way of eliminating the characteristic weedy encroachment attending vegetation, is, in a forest, to burn it away. In forests resembling the picture below, new trees and other forest plants will sprout from seeds whose casings were cracked open by the heat of the fire. Hardy trees that only look burnt to death will sprout new and stronger growth. Nature has its own process that takes care of everything. Forest fires not set by careless campers or a firebreak gone wrong, start from dry thunderstorms. 

These storms produce lots of lightening but little or no rain. Sooner or later a lightening bolt will set alight some dry brush and a forest fire is born out of seemingly nowhere.Today, in an appreciation of nature and everything that is beautiful about the woods, homeowners and developers are building in and around forests more than ever. Effective planning to maintain these woodland residencies is either non-existent or slow in coming. In addition, cloud seeding projects in and around wooded areas cause drought and an increase in the kind of dry lightening storms that tend to spark these fires. Such conditions have now resulted in an

increase of forest fires with difficulty containing them as they rage out of control. Homes, businesses and millions of acres of forest are burning, right now.

GEO TECHNOLOGIES can help control forest fires in several ways:

Before a fire has begun:

-By eliminating drought, the leading cause of forest fire

-By dispersing the storms that spark them

After a fire has begun:

-By reducing the driving winds that contribute to all out-of-control forest and brush fires, enabling fire-fighters to get closer to the fire and maintain control of it.

-By manipulating conditions in and around the fire itself. It can be reduced in speed and intensity. Plus, ambient temperature is another influencing factor that we can control.
