Which countries don't have weather cycles? Some years will be flooded, some droughts.

    I wonder how many of these fires were caused by sugar growers burning their crops and causing adjacent forests to catch on fire. It's tinder dry in some areas and it wouldn't take much.

Rain does happen ever year.

Fires where I live are an annual occurrence and premeditated. There's a 10 km road that runs from where I live to Route 24. Everyday it is used as a rubbish dump by drivers traveling it. For the local amphur to clean this up after a year of dumping will be cost a lot and is labour intensive. So what they do every year, around this time, they send out a tractor, towing a grass shredder down this route shredding all accessible dumped rubbish and dry vegetation. We all know that once this has been done someone will put a match to it. Always done at night. Consequently we have this annual wild fires. 

No sooner that the fire has cooled then out come the self employed rubbish collectors who collect all none perishables and take it for recycling. 

Also done on the lane dividers on Route 24 where road users throw trash out of their car windows.
