Forest fires are started by lightning, by carelessness in the use of fire or of a heat source (like failure to clear well back from around a camp fire, the use of metal cutting or welding equipment near flammable materials, or even the unsafe operation of a motor vehicle in a hot, dry, fuel laden area) and - so sadly - by the deliberate setting of a fire (arson).
There also needs to drought conditions to the point that forest becomes 'tinder' as is easily ignited by and fuel for a raging fire. It could also be as simple as a glass bottle or a peice of reflective material in a coutry like Australia summer and phhhummm...up it goes like a house on fire. High winds also spread fires more quickly making it harder for firefighters to get them under control once they start.
