Wildfires can be caused by many different things. Most are caused by campfires that have been left unattended. Discarded cigarettes, equipment malfunctions, burning trash, and intentional arson are also considered to be common causes. Lightning strikes only account for about 15% of all wildfires, which means that the other 85% are attributed to humans and their actions. While some parts of the state are more prone to wildfire than others, the entire state has some risk of a wildfire at any given time.
