Learning area expanded

Originally I decided to learn about the meerkat telescopes but I also warned that I would very likely change my mind and I have. This past month the Cape seems to have been engulfed by flames. Fynbos needs to burn every 10 to 15 years. I know the reasons why; seeds being activated by smoke, old growth being removed and nutrients being cycled. What I am unsure of is how these natural fires start. This is what I will be investigating.
