depends on the amount of fuel, type of fuel and whether it is left to burn or manually put out. A match, for example will not burn for as long as a fireplace fire. Some woods have oils that help them burn ( eg eucalyptus trees) so even comparing wood fires still wouldn't be a fair test.

It varies. Depending on their severity, bushfires can be extinguished within a matter of hours, or they can continue burning out of control for three weeks, as was the case of the 2009 'Black Saturday' bushfires in Victoria.

Why does charcoal burn longer and hotter than the wood that made it?

We work at a lab testing wood and charcoal burning stoves. Charcoal doesn't burn hotter than wood in a stove. That's why it's better for broiling not burning steaks. Charcoal is used in lots of places like African cities because it makes little smoke and keeps burning for a long time which is more convenient than wood that requires tending. Also charcoal can be made and sold by the rural poor to the urbanites who have more money. And charcoal is lighter than wood for transport. However, more than half of the energy in the wood is wasted when turning wood into charcoal! From an ecological perspective it's a lot better to burn wood cleanly. Charcoal is almost pure carbon ... no moisture, no extraneous chemicals. But don't forget, charcoal is a residue ... a lot of wood was burned to make it.
