Simply because for all our resources, the fire moves faster.

Typically, when the weather has been cool and wet the fires can be contained fairly easily. It’s really just a situation where it has been dry for a long time, and so all the sticks and leaves and grasses on the ground are dry as paper and it takes nothing, no time at all, for fire to start and spread like it’s gasoline.
