Wildfires present shifting conditions that raise or lower danger as wind direction and fuel types change. Unlike structure fires, firefighters cannot rely on a fixed safe distance and flames can leap firebreaks, aided by wind shifts and new fuels feeding the blaze.
Firefighting aims to remove heat fuel or oxygen to stop a fire. For small wildfires crews attack flames with water from ground, air support drops flame retardant and water. Helicopters may land ahead of the fire or firefighters may rappel from the helicopter if landing is unsafe.
Firefighters sometimes attack large wildfires indirectly by creating a firebreak with bulldozers shovels rakes and chainsaws. They may even start a secondary fire to burn off fuel before the main blaze arrives, a practice that gave rise to the saying fighting fire with fire.
