Fires

Fires are instances of combustion that can be destructive, occurring in natural environments like forests or as a result of conflict, such as missile launches. They can also refer to the act of dismissing someone from a position or to strong consumer activity.

Why it’s in the news: Fires are in the news due to missile launches by North Korea, the dismissal of a Ukrainian aide amid corruption probes, strong consumer activity at a major port, and efforts to combat wildfires exacerbated by El Nino.
