Campfires:
In many places, camping is a big thing. People, both young and old spend time in the woods to enjoy the great outdoors. Sometimes fires are needed for various things during camping and they can start wildfires if not put out properly.
Smoking:

Lightening:
A good number of wildfires were started by lightening. It is a bit hard to imagine, but investigators confirm this as very common. When lightening strikes, it can produce a spark. It can strike trees, power cables, rocks and many other things and just set them off.
Burning debris:
Refuse, junk and yard waste are common items that are permitted to burn in many places. People are therefore very quick to set anything ablaze as a way of disposing off them. But that can get out of hand and start a fire.
Accidents or equipment failure:
Car crashes, gas balloons, lawn mowers and many other equipment have been known to start fires when they go wrong. These are accidental but if not detected quickly, can cause massive problems. This is why fire fighters always move to an accident scene in anticipation of a fire break.
Fireworks:
Fireworks are banned in many places because of their explosive nature and high potential to start a fire. If fireworks are not blasted at the right places, they can end up as fires elsewhere.
Arson:
