{{Main|Wildfire suppression}}
[[Wildfire]]s (known in Australia as [[Bushfires in Australia|bushfires]]) require a unique set of strategies and tactics. In many countries such as Australia and the United States, these duties are mostly carried out by local [[Volunteer fire department|volunteer firefighters]]. Wildfires have some ecological role in allowing new plants to grow, therefore in some cases they will be left to burn.<ref>{{citation|title=Forest Fire in Canada|date=2008-06-05|url=http://fire.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/questions-eng.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090530143903/http://fire.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/questions-eng.php|url-status=dead|publisher=Natural Resources Canada|access-date=2009-05-01|archive-date=2009-05-30}}</ref> Priorities in fighting wildfires include preventing the loss of life and property as well as ecological damage.
