Tips for your answer

Do not treat wildfires as purely natural events. Explain how climate change, human activities, forest management and disaster preparedness together determine wildfire risk.
Remember value addition like Forest Survey of India (FSI), National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Disaster Management Act, 2005, Sendai Framework, pyrocumulonimbus (firestorm) clouds, and satellite-based fire monitoring.
Avoid focusing only on firefighting. Give equal emphasis to prevention, early warning, ecosystem management, community participation and climate-resilient disaster governance.
