Why are wildfires so dangerous?

Wildfires, like the one in the Rhondda valley, spread rapidly and unpredictably, making them extremely dangerous. They destroy homes, force evacuations, and devastate natural habitats, posing a huge threat to both people and wildlife. The smoke can also cause respiratory problems, and the long-term environmental impact can be severe.
