Thunderstorms and bushfires are the ones that cause property damages and deaths
* Arson is the top cause of bushfires. There is no control over basic idiocy. * Excessive fuel by way of dry vegetation is another major reason why a small fire can spread and become a major bushfire. This can be reduced by preparatory controlled burnoffs by the fire brigade. * Lightning storms are a major factor in igniting bushfires, but there is no way to reduce these storms.
Thunderstorms and bushfires are the ones that cause property damages and deaths
There are several causes of bushfires. Unfortunately, the major one tends to be arsonists, i.e. deliberate lighting of fires. Other causes include: * excessively dry vegetation resulting from prolonged drought or heatwave * faulty power lines * lightning * cigarettes * campfires not put out properly
Natural causes of wildfires and bushfires include:lightning strikesdryness of the vegetation caused by intense prolonged heat, as in heatwave conditionsstrong, gusting winds which fan the flames

Weather
cigarette butts, a hot sun on very dry grass and arsonist to name a few.
Australia is a very dry continent with lower rainfall than other continents. It is drought-prone, with long, hot, dry summers in the southern states. Vegetation, as a result, becomes very dry, easily ignited and tinder for fires. The intensity of bushfires is increased by this dry vegetation, which is why bushfires often occur after a period of heatwave. There are usually strong, gusting winds, which come from the south or west, and these fan the bushfires.
