Yes, many wildfires are caused by people's carelessness: a cigarette flicked out a car window, a campfire or grill left unattended, etc.

The other way in which man has an effect on wildfires is in that for most of the 20th century, in the United States, we tended to put out fires immediately, thinking that would protect forests. Over the decades, though, the dead wood built up and now fires can burn more intensely with the extra fuel. A healthy fire regime is important for sustaining healthy forests of diversely-aged stands of trees.
