  • Statistics indicate that most bushfires are caused by lightning strikes.
  • Bushfires are, unfortunately, also commonly caused by man's activities, whether arson or unintentionally lighting the fires such as by tossing cigarettes out of car windows, or not extinguishing campfires properly.
  • The intensity of bushfires is increased by dry vegetation, often after a period of heatwave, together with strong, gusting winds, and absence of precipitation
  • Faulty power lines are also often a cause. Sparking and arcing from these powerlines easily ignites into bushfires.
