Every year, nearly 1.2 million acres of land are burned in wildfires. Lightning and other natural occurrences cause some of these fires. However, humans cause 90 percent of wildfires. Cigarettes, campfires, equipment, and more can ignite fires that end up spreading due to dry leaves, needles, branches, and weather conditions.
