Is there a way we can prevent them from occurring in the first place, or is it inevitable during the summer months?

preventing them is typically done by thinning out the forest and making firelines through the forest to contain help contain it to a certain area basically lines with all the trees removed. They are difficult to put out because when they get big enought it doesnt really matter how much water you put on it its gonna burn, like turning a hose on a volcano the only thing you can do is try and keep it from spreading and let it burn itself out and this is very labor intensive to do and requires lots of expensive specialized equiptment so areas tend to underspend and understaff and are usually ill equipped when something happens.
