In some parts of the world, such as Australia, southern Europe and the west coast of North America, bushfires can destroy homes and kill people
The fires usually take place during the hot, dry summer months
A fire may star in a dry area when lightning strikes a tree or the ground
Occasionally, however, people cause fires, too
For example, when a person throws a burning cigarette to the ground, dry grass catches fire easily and the flames quickly spread
But not all fires are accidents
Some people start fires intentionally
On 16 February 1983, bushfires killed 72 people and destroyed over 2,000 homes in South Australia
The fires broke out in a number of different places
It was difficult for firefighters to keep them under control
The fires caused more than $300 million worth of damage
Some people died because they did not want to leave their homes
The tried to fight the fire themselves
Other people burnt to death in their cars as they tried to escape from the fires
