Forest fire is common in places around the world where climates are moist enough to allow the growth of trees and shrubs, but have extended dry, hot periods. The most noted areas on Earth for wildfire include the vegetated areas of Australia, Western Cape of South Africa and throughout the dry forests and grasslands of North America and Europe.
Wild fires in forests and grasslands in North America are particularly prevalent in the summer, fall and winter, especially during dry periods with an increase in dead fuels and high winds. That period of time is called the wild fire season. Western U.S. fires tend to be more dramatic during summer and fall while Southern fires are hardest to fight in late winter and early spring when fallen branches, leaves, and other material dry out and become highly flammable.
Because of urban creep into existing forests, forest fires can often lead to property damage and has the potential to cause human injury and death. That "wildland urban interface" is a growing zone of transition between developed areas and undeveloped wildland. It makes fire protection a major concern for state and federal governments.
Millions of dollars are spent annually on fire protection and training fire fighters in the United States. An endless list of subjects on how wildfire behaves are collectively called "fire science". I want to very briefly introduce you to some concepts, terminology and web sites where you can explore the subject of wildfire at your leisure.

Why does a wildfire occur on that place?
It can occur wherever there is dry vegetation or anywhere that can fuel the fire. Wildfires do not occur in the Sahara Desert or Saudi Arabian desert because there is little vegetation to fuel the fire and the sand is more likely to put out the fire since sand grains have pores that are so small they lack air. Fire also doesn't occur on snow because snow is made out of water that can put out the fire. Fires are more likely to not occur in rainforest or swamps because the vegetation is more wet where it can put out the fire. If the vegetation gets too dry or unhealthy it is more likely to cause a wildfire. Places where it is windy can cause the fire to spread more where it finds new areas to burn and this increases the wildfire. Areas that have experienced a drought are more likely to have a wildfire.
