A forest fire is slightly different from a forest fire. The definition of bushfire is any type of uncontrolled fire in a rural or wilderness area. A bushfire is specifically in a forest or wooded area.

A fire could start naturally, for example from a lightning strike. More often, however, a fire is caused by negligence on the part of humans, such as failing to put out a campfire properly or dropping a smoldering match on a pile of leaves or other vegetation.
