When there is a shortage of water, and high temperature in a vegetated area, the grass, or other leafy vegetation will start to dry. Add the dry winds, and the leaves start rubbing together, causing friction, which creates heat, and sets the dried leaves on fire.
Wildfires can be caused by natural factors such as lightning strikes or by human activities like campfires, arson, discarded cigarettes, or machinery sparks. Dry and hot conditions can also increase the likelihood of wildfires starting and spreading quickly.
