Answer 1

Because they occur in climates where lighting a small fire isn’t so difficult, or more so when there is a fire it spreads quick because if the lack of moisture in the air. All it takes is a cigarette or camp fire in an act of carelessness, and the whole are can be compromised.

Edit: yeah difficult lighting a single piece of dried wood, but the kindling surrounding it not so much.
