Experts first thought, that the fire started because of dry winds: there were no rains for a last half of the year. The wind in changing direction spread the fire. But not all believe in this theory, for instance, American businessman Elon Musk sure, in that situation the first cause of fire is the human factor and negligence, because in the city there are problems with the lack of fire protection strips, difficulties in providing water and the inability of services to clear thickets of bushes.
