eli5: Why wasn’t Vietnam huge for forest fires during the war?

239 views

The Vietnam war was obviously famous for the use of napalm and the use of flamethrowers on occasion as well as the burning of houses with lighters. So with all of these weapons being used why wasn’t Vietnam largely in flames due to all of this?

It’s a jungle. The wood is all too wet to burn that easily, ergo fires are contained relatively easily.
