Bushfires can start for several reasons. Here are some of the main causes:
| Natural Causes | Human-Induced Causes | Environmental Causes |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning | Arson | Dry Weather |
| Spontaneous Combustion | Campfires/Barbecues | Strong Winds |
| Volcanic Activity | Cigarettes | High Temperatures |
| Power Lines | Low Humidity | |
| Machinery/Vehicles | Climate Change |
Bushfires often start when lightning strikes dry vegetation, igniting it. Spontaneous combustion, although rare, can also happen during extremely hot, dry conditions. In some parts of the world, even volcanic activity can trigger fires.
Arson, improperly extinguished campfires, discarded cigarette butts, and agricultural burns are common human causes of bushfires. Electrical faults from power lines and sparks from machinery or vehicles in dry conditions can also lead to ignition.
Dry weather, high temperatures, and strong winds create perfect conditions for fires to spread quickly. Additionally, climate change has made bushfire seasons longer and more intense.
The best way to protect your home is through careful preparation and maintenance. Here’s what you can do:
