- Wildfire risk depends on a number of factors, including temperature, soil moisture, and the presence of trees, shrubs, and other potential fuel.

- climate change impacts because it affects the dry areas of organic matter.(which helps to fuel the wild fire).

- Higher temperature affects the ability of a fire the most.

- agricultural expansion

- Wood extraction

-Road and Urbanization

most of these causes work together and are not the sole contributor to the issue.
