Some modern forest management practices include removing dead brush from forests; this is bad policy for the ecological processes at work.

The most important things you can do are to take care with any kind of fire you use. If you're camping or grilling in an area with a high risk for wildfire, keep your fire small, do not leave it unattended, and extinguish it completely when you are done with it. Many roadside fires are started by careless smokers flicking lit cigarettes out their windows; either don't smoke or use the ash tray inside your car (good policies even if you aren't just trying to prevent forest fires).

With these preventions in mind, keep in mind that most wildfires are started by lightning.
