Answer;

Surface fire

Explanation;

  • Surface fires are type of forest fires that may burn primarily as a surface fire, spreading along the ground as the surface litter and undergrowth on the forest floor and is engulfed by the spreading flames.
  • They are the easiest fires to put out and cause the least damage to the forest. Surface fires create the least amount of destruction.
  • These fires protects the forest by releasing the nutrients that would otherwise decompose slowly, having little benefit to the ecosystem.
  • Additionally, these fires allow more open spaces for new and different kinds of vegetation to grow and receive sunlight.
