Forest fires
The fuel for the forest fire
 
What is essential for a wildfire to start? Dry leaves and wood serve as the fuel. Lightning, a cigarette butt, campfires can ignite the fuel. Wildfires in Australia are aggravated by the eucalyptus leaves that are rich in oil. High winds also provide more oxygen to the wildfire by aiding combustion. Hot and dry climate worsens the situation.
