Best Answer

About 80% are caused by human activity, but sometimes not intentionally. For example, if a hydro pole falls and starts a fire, that is caused by human activity, because we built the hydro pole. If a campfire isn't put out properly, that is also considered human made, because we caused the fire by not putting out the campfire.
