Pilk@aussie.zone 1 day agoHot days dry out fuel faster, preheat it and often bring strong winds (especially around cool changes). This is what makes hot days more dangerous than other days. It’s rare to self-ignite, it’s almost always lightning or human activity (arson, powerlines, machinery sparks, cigarettes, campfires etc.).

bottles or glass shards on the ground can intensify light , making heat then ignition
it used to be that smokers throwing butts were a known cause of fires but that’s not so much anymore
sparks from exhaust pipes
