list of large wildfires[edit]

We have lists of various disasters. There should be one specifically for wildfires. Kdammers (talk) 11:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Term[edit]

The term "fire season" is used several times in this article but never makes it clear what that means. This is especially confused when used as "year-round fire season" which would indicate it's not a season at all. Is there a better term that might be used? JMJimmy (talk) 00:07, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Wildfire Containment[edit]

The quantitative measurement "percent contained" is frequently used in the media to characterize the state of progress in firefighting a wildfire in the United States. However, it is difficult to find a precise definition. Do you think it would be appropriate to add a section to this article or as an independent article a definition of the quantitative measurement of wildfire containment (e.g., as "Wildfire Containment Percentage" or "Quantifying Wildfire Containment")?

I would have thought that an obvious part of any definition is that wildfire that is contained is no longer wildfire. So surely what should be reported is the size of what is still wildfire. HiLo48 (talk) 21:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Revisions?[edit]

I'm not entirely certain this article, in its present state, is worthy of GA-status. It has a lot of the information to be, but its organization and some of the writing needs to be mopped up. Are there any editors currently watching this article who would like to collaborate on a revision project? JackTheVicar (talk) 17:36, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
