摘要
随着温室效应的加剧和全球气温的升高，加州火灾越来越频繁，然而想要从根本上解决问题，需要设法解决温室效应，消除温室气体。但解决温室效应很难，因此本文试图利用其他的方法和手段来减缓火灾发生的频率，减少火灾带来的危害。本文通过对加州多年火灾源头的追溯，找出了加州大部分火灾背后的人为原因，包括焚烧杂物、人类活动和旧电线等。并且在文章中对原因进行一一分析，找到一对一合适的解决方案，包括主动燃烧一些可燃物以产生可控的火灾、无人机灭火等。以最大限度地减少加州火灾对人民安全的威胁和财产损失。

Abstract
With the intensification of the greenhouse effect and the global warming of temperature, California fires are more and more frequent. However, if we want to fundamentally solve the problem, we need to try to solve the greenhouse effect and eliminate greenhouse gases. But it is difficult to solve the greenhouse effect. Therefore, this paper tries to use other methods and means to slow down the frequency of fire and reduce the harm caused by fire. By tracing the source of fires in California for many years, this paper finds out the human causes behind most of the fires in California, including burning debris, human activities and old wires. And in the article, the reasons are analyzed one by one to find a one-to-one appropriate solution, including actively burning some combustibles to generate a controllable fire, unmanned aerial vehicle fire extinguishing, etc. To minimize the threat to people's safety and property loss caused by California fire.
