Are forest fires a problem?
Forest fires are not normally a problem in the tropics due to the humidity. Humid tropical areas, where our trees and forest are growing retain much moisture. When farmers clear their land of forest, the timber must be dried for months before they can burn. More important our workers keep the areas around the trees clear of brush and debris.
Forest fires are not normally a problem in the humid tropics. In these humid tropical areas, where trees and forest are growing the natural moisture and humidity are retained. For example, when farmers clear their land of forest, they first cut the trees and let them dry in the hot sun for weeks or months before they can burn the area being cleared. Even so, our workers keep the areas around our trees clear of brush and debris.
