But these wildfires are not limited to the US. From Russia and Spain in Europe to Chile in South America and Indonesia, Malaysia, Lebanon in West Asia, these fires are now frequent across the globe.

In April, a deadly forest fire in Valparaiso in Latin America?s Chile killed at least 11 people, and destroyed 1,000 homes. Authorities called these fires, in which about 5,000 people had to be evacuated, as one of the worst fires in the history of city. In the same month this year, a fire in Valencia in the eastern part of Spain caused hundreds of people to be evacuated from their homes.
