A recent article stated that 90% of wildfires in the US are human-caused. Articles I researched 5 years ago stated that 90% of wildfires in Colorado are started by lightning, burn less than 40 acres and generally quickly put out. The large wildfires are usually human-caused. The Hayman wildfire in 2002, the largest in Colorado history, was started deliberately by an arsonist.
