A bushfire is a type of wildfire that occurs in rural, undeveloped areas, often characterized by flames that spread rapidly through vegetation such as shrubs, grasslands, and forests. These fires can be ignited by natural causes like lightning strikes or human activities, including campfires, discarded cigarettes, or arson. Bushfires are particularly common in regions with hot, dry climates, and they can cause significant ecological damage, threaten wildlife, and pose risks to property and human safety. The intensity of a bushfire is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and the amount of available fuel. Effective management and prevention strategies, including controlled burns and land clearing, are essential for mitigating the impact of bushfires.
