* If they start naturally, by lightning, then they are natural disasters. * If they are started deliberately then they are crimes of arson. * If they are started through carelessness, like someone throwing a cigarette out of a car window, then they are criminal negligence.

∙ 14y agoOccasionally,they are. The Aborigine people of Australia sometimes do them on purpose every year or so, so that they can help the plants grow; for burnt down plant-life and such is a brilliant, natural fertiliser. However, they keep them under control. I am sure that if you have watched the news about the 2009 fires, you will know that they are not always an accident, and, very sadly, this is often the case.
Bushfires may be caused by natural means, such as lightning strikes, and also fuelled by natural means, such as hot, dry, gusting winds. heatwaves, which dry out the vegetation, mean that there is plenty of fuel to increase the intensity of the fire.
However, man's activities certainly impact on whether a bushfire starts. Arson is a common cause, and faulty power lines were found to be the cause of the most severe blaze in the Black Saturday bushfires of February 2009, in Victoria.
