Fire goes faster up hill for two reasons, first because the angle of the hill provides fuel to the fire at a faster rate, second because heat rises the fuel for the fire is pre-heated causing it to become more flammable.

Are forest fires easy to solve?
It depends on the structure of the forest. In a natural forest, no, since fire spreads rapidly. In a plantation forest, normally fire-breaks (large open gaps between rows of trees) will be incorporated to help prevent the spread of fire by burning trees falling onto other trees.

Forest Fires can be caused by two things. 1) a camp fire that didn't light properly which led fire to spread onto grass leading it to light up trees which as we all know causes a forest fire. 2) the heat could be very intense causing the trees to catch on fire... hope this helped :)
How are wildfires classified?
The dangers associated with the potential of wild fires are classified as:Low: Fires may start easily and spread quickly but there will be minimal involvement of deeper fuel layers or larger fuels.Moderate: Forest fuels are drying and there is an increased risk of surface fires starting. Carry out any forest activities with caution.High: Forest fuels are very dry and the fire risk is serious. New fires may start easily, burn vigorously, and challenge fire suppression efforts. Extreme caution must be used in any forest activities. Open burning and industrial activities may be restricted.Extreme: Extremely dry forest fuels and the fire risk is very serious. New fires will start easily, spread rapidly, and challenge fire suppression efforts. General forest activities may be restricted, including open burning, industrial activities and campfires.They may also be classified by types (there may vary in number and name):Surface fire: Burns along the floor of a wildland, moving slowly and killing or damaging plants.Ground fire: Burns anytime the surface burns and the subsurface organic material is dry enough to burn. They may burn through the the humus layer down to the mineral soil.Crown fires: Spread rapidly by wind and move quickly by jumping along the tops of the trees.The size classification is usually a measure of the area affected
