How does the Sonoran desert catch fire?

@@reeferforall3120 brush....but the fact that putting these out seems to be such an issue is perplexing.

It was human caused, but it's still being investigated.
Sometimes people toss a burning cigarette out of their vehicle which can result is a fire.
Campfires can also be the cause of a fire like this.
There have also been cases where the fire was started deliberately.
I've lived near this area all my life and have seen many fires.
