A bushfire is an uncontrolled fire in vegetation such as forests, grasslands, or scrub, typically occurring in rural or wildland areas. It is often caused by natural factors like lightning or human activities, including arson, discarded cigarettes, or equipment use. Bushfires can spread rapidly due to dry conditions, wind, and the availability of combustible materials. They can have devastating effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and human properties, leading to loss of life, destruction of habitats, and economic costs. Bushfires are particularly prevalent in regions with hot and dry climates, such as Australia, where specific seasons may increase their frequency and intensity. Management strategies involve prevention, controlled burns, and firefighting efforts to mitigate their impact.
