Yes, wildfires can be caused by lightning. We actually put out the 'wildfires'. Back in the day when there was noone to put the fires out, they burned massive areas compared to now. Lots of people didn't know that I bet.
Less acres are burned now than ever? What about, you know, deforestation? Did you know that we remove much more trees than are burned every year as a cause of lightning? Remember, if someone throws a lit cigarette out their window and end up burning a forest, that was still a human's fault.
