Even if ignition in each possible even it quite low if there is enough event some will still occur.

I igniting the fire with dried wood is hard you are doing something wrong. A small enough piece and a flame and you will get fire. That is if there is not too much wind because then you need to protect the fire from it.
There is also other stuff that can burn that is even simple to ignite like dried grass. A single spark on dry grass can ignite it.

Accident fires cans also are the result of intentional fires that spread in an unintentional way. So the fire is already there and ember flies away and starts to smoulder or the fire itself is not put out in an appropriate way.

There is dry thunderstorms with lightning hitting the ground and can ignite stuff but no rain hitting the ground.
