contents The burning number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of turns required to burn all vertices of a graph if at every turn a new fire is started and existing fires spread to all adjacent vertices. The Burning Number Conjecture of Bonato et al. (2016) postulates that $b(G)\leq \left\lceil\sqrt{n}\right\rceil$ for all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices. We prove that this conjecture holds asymptotically, that is $b(G)\leq (1+o(1))\sqrt n$.
