In February 2011, there were several bushfires in the Perth area. The one which began in Roleystone was believed to have been started accidentally by flying sparks when someone was using a grinder. The fire which originated near Brigadoon, northeast of Perth, was started when strong winds blew down a tree branch, which then fell onto power lines.
Thunderstorms and bushfires are the ones that cause property damages and deaths
Bushfires are wildfires that occur in vegetated areas such as forests, grasslands, and bushland. They can be caused by natural factors like lightning strikes or human activities like arson or accidental ignition. Bushfires can spread rapidly and have devastating impacts on communities, wildlife, and the environment.
There are about 30 - 50 or more fires a year, including bushfires . ---- This figure does not include the innumerable bushfires that occur in Australia every summer. Many years they are just spot fires that may burn hectares of land but cause little other damage. Some years, a large number of bushfires come together to cause immense devastation in Victoria, New South Wales or South Australia.
Global warming can lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves and droughts, creating dry conditions that increase the likelihood of bushfires. Warmer temperatures can also dry out vegetation, making it more susceptible to ignition. Additionally, shifting weather patterns due to climate change can alter traditional fire seasons and extend the window when bushfires are likely to occur.
The devastating bushfires in Victoria, Australia, officially started on Saturday, 7 February 2009. Fire authorities were alerted to the worst of the fires at Kilmore, at 11.20am on Saturday, when smoke and then flames were seen near the top of a hill outside the town in central Victoria.
Regions around Perth in Western Australia were badly hit by bushfires in 2011.
Thunderstorms and bushfires are the ones that cause property damages and deaths
There are several natural and man-made factors that can lead to bushfire conditions.Atmospheric conditions that cause lightning storms can result in bushfires. This is when a warm front meets a cold front. Statistics indicate that most bushfires are caused by lightning strikes.The intensity of bushfires is increased by dry vegetation, often after a period of heatwave, together with strong, gusting winds, and absence of precipitation. Droughts and prostrated heat are classic conditions for causing bushfires.A man-made condition that causes bushfires is sheer idiocy. Bushfires are, unfortunately, 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.High winds, coupled with dry air, can cause bushfires. Gusting winds cause faulty power lines to spark and arc, which easily ignites the vegetation into bushfires.

Bushfires cannot happen during flooding rains.
Bushfires do not have names, unlike cyclones and hurricanes.
