A bushfire is a fire that burns in vegetation, typically in rural areas, including forests, grasslands, and scrubland. These fires occur naturally but can also be ignited by human activity, such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, or arson. Bushfires are characterized by their rapid spread and can be influenced by environmental conditions such as drought, high winds, and temperatures.
