Lightning ignitions are the most common source of non-human wildfire ignitions

@@ssfrederick6061 yes i know, but i'm more focusing on the 'heat' especially in the summer when most fires happen where no lightening is involved, so my question is it possible for heat of the sun to ignite grass naturally? if so how is it doing it?

@@yassinyassin4006 There are no cases that I've heard of in over 26 years of Wildland Firefighting experience where sunlight caused a wildfire without the use of a magnifier such as a soda bottle or a magnifying glass.
