It can be people messing around, setting tinder on fire. The flames then spread from tree to tree. If there is no wind, it is easier to contain.

When will the next fire storm occur Australia?

There is no way to predict accurately when a firestorm will occur. However, it is reasonable to expect a firestorm in mid-summer, especially during a period of protracted high temperatures, e.g. a heatwave. Firestorms are more likely to occur after a wet winter, which causes extensive vegetation growth in the early stages of spring, followed by several months of little or no rain, and when there has been no rain for some time after that. This causes the new-growth vegetation to dry out, making the tinder-dry countryside very, very easily ignited by lightning, accident or arsonists.

What is the nuclear winter?

Dramatic cooling of much of the earth expected when a major nuclear war causes firestorms injecting large amounts of soot high in the stratosphere, where it can stay for decades. This soot shades the earth from sunlight making it dark and cold 24 hours a day until the soot eventually falls back to the lower atmosphere an rains out. If this dark cold period did last for decades it would stop most food production and modern life would become effectively impossible, even ignoring the damage due to the war.
