In Australia during droughts there are reminders to not throw cigarette butts out the window of cars.
Lightning also plays a large role in starting fires, but I also recall, as a child, being told that rubbish (litter) such as bottles and cans can reflect the harsh sunlight in a focused way and cause an ember. I recall not buying a diesel mazda car because it had a disclaimer about not parking on long grass because of the danger of starting a fire. Apparently, mazda finally made it to recall status: https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-12-29/ford-rangers-ma... From the owner's manualâ‹® > Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous. https://owners-manual.mazda.com/gen/en/cx-5/cx-5_8gj1ee18b/c... |
