Wildfires in Southern California happen as often as conditions permit, really. There are usually brushfires every year, but 90 percent of the time they only burn a few hundred or couple thousand acres per fire, and most do not threaten homes. It is the big fires, fueled by fierce winds that tend to threaten homes. Remember that most wildfires start with a heat source such as the sun or someone committing arson, and are then fueled by low humidity and high wind.

∙ 11y agoThe actual number of serious fires varies according to the type of fuel, terrain and weather.
However, an ordinary lightning storm over dry fuels can start hundreds of fires within a few hours, most of which burn out on their own.
On a given day there are thousands of lightning storms all over the world.
