Wildfires, especially the fiercest firestorms, depend entirely on weather, more precisely on winds and atmospheric blocks. Wildfires should not be fought but prevented by strengthening preventive measures during windy weather, which arsonists use to initiate fires and which could be not just an expression of an unhealthy personality but an intentional, hostile act of weather and geophysical war, given the scale of the damage it induces.

Better monitoring of forest areas during critical weather conditions and in advance, due to enhanced weather forecasts, could be a helpful temporary measure.
Another way to prevent wildfires is to prevent the formation of atmospheric blocks, created by intentional disruptions of the polar jet stream as a weather warfare weapon. Without prolonged heatwaves and jet stream-induced extreme winds, wildfires or firestorms are impossible.
The local winds created by the local relief that become dangerous should be fueled by a grander atmospheric setup. Both approaches are possible to avoid unnecessary suffering and losses. The first is already available and is a matter of political will to be applied. The other needs more time to become reality.
2026 WILDFIRE SEASON SURPASSES 9.4 MILLION ACRES ACROSS THE U.S.**
Four large wildfires remain uncontained across Washington, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Florida, with 342 firefighters and support personnel assigned nationwide.
The bigger concern is the year-to-date toll: 68,179 fires have burned more than 9.4 million acres — 46% above the 10-year average for this date.
As cooler weather arrives, prescribed burns are also underway to reduce dangerous fuel buildup ahead of future fire seasons.
