We know that the forest floor fuel loads are increasing year by year which increases the risk exponentially, and we know a small scrub fire or spot fire can turn into a 10km raging fire front in a matter of hours if a dry strong westerly wind whips up
My question is, how do these small spot fires start in the first place when they are located mostly in remote state forests with limited or no road access
Surely lightning is not the only cause ?
Any thoughts on that ?
