A season of fires

I suppose people have always been fascinated with the element known as fire. It is a necessity. Survival needs would have motivated early human beings to learn ways to utilize fire and now we cannot imagine a world without it.

As children, we were warned not to play with fire. As adults, we pass on the warning to the young ones because we know the benefits as well as the dangers of fires. Fire can quickly destroy material possessions, and parts of nature and take lives. We all would have experienced or witnessed the ruin it leaves.
