The "fire triangle" (or fire tetrahedron) refers to the components of any fire, namely: fuel, heat and oxygen. Forests provide fuel, normal air has plenty of oxygen, and heat can come from lightning or from human carelessness, resulting in forest fires.

Under the theory of fire components, if you remove one or more components, the fire will stop. In forest fires you can remove the fuel by "separating" it with a fireline, you can remove the heat by using water or fire retardant. When the wind blows, it adds fresh air (more oxygen) and stimulates the fire's intensity and adds to the convective spread of the fire embers.
