Progression of brushfires and wildfiresBushfires occur in climates that are dry and hot (such as California in the summer). Occasional strong winds and summertime cold fronts can lead to extreme fire danger. Dangerous areas also include large areas of dry grass and trees, which burn easily and are common in the summer.

Several environmental and geographical factors help bush fires progress:

* High winds provide more oxygen

* Amount of fuel (trees, grass, etc.)

* Low humidity

* High air temperature

* Terrain (fires spread faster up sides of hills)

Additionally, embers from the main fire can set spot fires ahead, causing the fire to leap ahead with the help of the wind.
