	Bushfire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bushfire is a wildfire that occurs in the bush (collective term for forest, scrub, woodland or grassland of Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia).
		Fire frequency in the north is difficult to assess, as the vast majority of fires are deliberately started by humans.
		Plants have evolved a variety of strategies to survive fires, (possessing reserve shoots that sprout after a fire, or developing fire-resistant or fire-triggered seeds) or even encourage fire (eucalypts contain flammable oils in the leaves) as a way to eliminate competition from less fire-tolerant species.
