Original Note:
An area of grass cannot catch fire from the sun alone. However, during a heatwave, a tiny spark can more easily ignite a wildfire. This can be caused by cigarettes, BBQs and other fire products. Overall, climate change is a drive in larger and more dangerous fires. https://www.redcross.org.uk/stories/disasters-and-emergencies/uk/what-is-a-wildfire-and-what-is-a-grassfire#:~:text=grassfires%20start%20naturally%3F-,Long%20periods%20of%20hot%2C%20dry%20weather%20and%20a%20lack%20of,ignite%20a%20wildfire%20or%20grassfire.
