any uncontrolled, non-structure fire that occurs in the wildland.[1][2] Synonyms such as wildland fire, forest fire, brush fire, vegetation fire, grass fire, peat fire, bushfire (in Australasia), and hill fire are commonly used. Causes are numerous[3][4] and include lightning,[5] human carelessness, slash-and-burn farming,[6] arson,[7][8] volcanic activity, pyroclastic clouds, and underground coal fires. Nine out of ten wildfires are reportedly caused by some human interaction.[9] Heat waves, droughts, and cyclical climate changes such as El Niño can also dramatically increase the risk of wildfires.

In california this seems to be an ongoing problem, and it sucks to think you build a house in a pretty area then it goes up in flames and you no longer have a house.
