• Ok now that I have stopped laughing at all of these answers I have to say that I agree with all of them.
  
  Wildfires are caused by a combination of things
  -careless people not properly tending to fires and making sure they are properly extinguished.
  -lightning strikes on dry brush
  -natures natural renewal from drought-too much sun on dry land with no water-remember the boy scouts rubbing the sticks together :-)
  
  The fact is that bushfires are necessary for the earth to renew itself just as tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, etc. We as people need tohave more respect for nature and all that evolves from it but stopping our exploitation of the land that we depend upon for life-IM not doing so will be the death of us all-now I am off to see I am legend :-) 0% 0 Votes
• Besides carelessness, I think the same(bush fires) is caused by psychos, and terrorists also, let%26#039;s not fool ourselves in thinking otherwise. 8% 1 Vote
• Yes, maybe, but the cause most likely is cigarette but being discarded out car windows during dry times. Unruly, and unsupervised, delinquent kids are also reasons for starting fires. Look at the young boy that started one of the California wildfires, he was screwing around with a pack of matches and single handedly started the fire. 0% 0 Votes
• LOL...Actually, almost all of these have some truth behind them. But to blame one specifically as the main cause, can%26#039;t be done.
  You see, although we may not like them, in a conservation stand point, promoting %26quot;controlled burning%26quot; is something all landowners should actually try to do. Then the accumilation of over brush doesn%26#039;t get out of hand, and then catch us drastically off guard as in the wildfires in Georgia, California and elsewhere. It also, helps improve not only the quality of the land, the maintenance of the land, but Certainly improves the natural habitats of our animals and trees.
  A plant in a container eventually gets root bound, correct? And you have to replant. Well, in a forest you have to thin out and controll burn to improve the quality of those trees and the brush, as well as the soil to provide new growth and forage for the animals and everything around it. Make since???
  A ground covered in old brush and other dead matter, will sometimes cover out the new seedlings from ever starting in the ground.
  
  WILDLIFE having unsupervised BBQs??? No, but do more controlled burns... they have more food to eat without having to have a BBQ, and we will have less out of control wildfires, due to accumilation of brush, to fight. 0% 0 Votes

• I agree. I for one have come across too many raging keggers being held by irresponsible wildlife for this to continue.
  
  Every time, one animal is supposed to be in charge of watching the fire, but they end up more loaded than most of the others.
  
  Natural selection at it%26#039;s finest indeed!! 8% 1 Vote
