A bushfire primarily requires fuel and some method of igniting it. The method of ignition could be by man, either purposefully (vandalism) or accidentally, e.g. campfire left burning, a tossed cigarette, a glass bottle which focuses the sun's rays on the dry fuel. Fuel may be created through prolonged drought or dry conditions, which causes vegetation to dry out. This is why Australia is so prone to bushfires - drought is a common problem. Strong winds can fan the flames into a raging inferno, or a wind change can take a narrow fire front and turn the flank around into a wide front which is even more destructive and harder to control.

Can A Bushfire be Predicted?
An actual bushfire cannot be predicted, but bushfire conditions can certainly be predicted. Variables include basic idiocy of humankind, e.g. whether or not arsonists will start the fire; whether or not someone will fully put out a campfire; whether or not someone will throw a lit cigarette butt out of a car window. However, the weather plays an important part in bushfire conditions, and "bushfire danger" warnings vary from low to extreme (and now a new category - "catastrophic" - has been added to the levels).
