Are frequent forest fires types of Spontaneous combustion or rapid combustion?Because in a video of types of combustion of combustion and flames chapter it says that it is a type of spontaneous combustion.Here rapid combustion signifies that it happens in the presence of external heat whereas in spontaneous combustion no external heat is given.Isn't forest fire a type of rapid combustion because it happens because of sun's heat..Experts please answer the correct option to solve my confusion.......

Here external heat is reffered as heat which is applied by humans. Sun's heat is natural heat but here we are talking about artificial heat or heat which is given by objects made by humans. Forests fire can be of both spontanegeous as well as rapid combustion as sometimes fire occurs by the fireplaces where people come to camp and also by sun's heat.
