Lightning is the major cause of forest fires. careless smoking, campfires that are not put out properly, left untended, or lit in droughts, deliberately lit fires used to prevent forest fires sometimes escape containment, and people (arsonists) also set fires on purpose. War andhuman error also cause forest fires.

Most the time it is either because humans think it would be cool to burn down the forest, but it really isn't most the animals will die only some can run from it. The other way a forest fire can happen is when there is lightning and it hits the forest the forest catches on fire.....
