What is causing the wildfires in California?
But, as is our nature, humans will do their best to complicate things. Normally small local fires will break out with lightning strikes or even spontaneous combustion on an extremely hot day. Yet usually when this happens, humans do their best to stamp it out before it actually starts burning. This happens until there is one fire, whether natural or induced, that cannot be stopped because it has been building up for so long. Then the small localized fire that was supposed to occur turns into wildfires stretching miles long.
