Wildfire is a kind of fire that occurs in the forests or reserved national parks. It starts as small fire but eventually turns into a huge fire due to some favorable con-ditions such as presence of dry trees and grasses as well as strong winds in the forests. The outcome may be due to failure of responsible authorities of getting early information about fire as soon as it starts so that they could be able to control before it turns into a huge fire. Human activities like clearing field for cultivation, charcoal burning or smoking can cause wildfire to occur. Broken glasses can be another source of wildfire because sometimes they can act as collective lens focusing sun light on a smallspot for a length of time, a condition that could trigger fire.Economic activities such as tourism can be affected in a negative way by wildfires due to damages it causes to the vegetation of ecosystems. Wildfires are a constant threat to ecological systems of forests and human safety especially in regions which present hot climate. Just like other countries, Tanzania is affected by wildfires each year causing deaths of people and wild animals as well as damage to valuable infrastructures leading to loss of some valuable plants and animal species. According to the reported analysis of 2012 for Tanzania using MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), in average Tanzania loses over 11 million hectares offorests and woodlands each year (ranging between 8.5 and 12.9 million hectares) This is equivalent to about 9% - 14% of Tanzania’s total land area.
