I think this sort of fires are common in the US too where there are vast stretches of space and when the weather is hot, the dry twigs catch fire easily....How do they control it? do they just leave it or are there some measures taken ?

There are 600 fire engines working regularly on them and they are praying for torrential rains to come help extinguish the fire out. You can see some of the pics in the link provided.

From what I perceive this is something that does happen every now and then.....But 30 homes destoyed already which means it is bad ..If developed nations like US and Australia are unable to handle stop it one can imagine what wuld be the impact if it happens in India.I have seen the trees on the sides of the western Ghat ranges burning away during summer monthss without anyone doing anything...
