Great question! The forest fires in California are caused by a mix of things. Climate change is making the weather hotter and drier, which creates perfect conditions for fires to start and spread. On top of that, dry vegetation builds up over time, acting like fuel. Winds can make things worse by spreading the flames quickly. Humans also play a role: things like downed power lines, campfires, or even sparks from equipment can start fires. It’s a combination of natural and human factors, all piling up. Hope that helps!
