Most of the fires are caused by the cigarette butts left on the land and unmonitored. Around 90% of the Forest Fires in the United States are due to humans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Mother Earth\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother earth is responsible for 10%of Forest Fires in the United States. It is caused due to lightning and volcanic eruptions. Lightning produces a spark that can set a forest fire.
