Two primary causes of wildfires are human activities, such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, and arson, and natural events, particularly lightning strikes. Wildfires are more likely to occur under dry conditions, where vegetation is parched and easily ignitable, and during periods of high temperatures and strong winds, which can rapidly spread flames and embers. Additionally, regions experiencing drought are particularly susceptible to wildfires due to the lack of moisture in the soil and plants.
