Thanks for the clarification. It’s the first time I heard something as a “total fire ban”, so I thought it was a very strict thing that also included controlled and small indoor flames, such as candles and incense sticks, away from combustible things that would render the fire uncontrollable. Indeed, fire is a thing that needs responsibility so to avoid wildfires.

It’s also summer in Brazil, which also brings the risk of droughts. Brazil has some laws regarding prohibition of fire, especially within parks and national forests, but (unfortunately) there are little to no enforcement, and that’s why wildfires have been spreading throughout the Amazon rainforest. People over here are used to throw out “cigarette ends” on streets and roads, and this is bad in many ways: from pollution to risk of sparking fire because of how those cigarette ends could contain lit fire within.
