Large fires take on a life of their own. A conflagration can evolve into a firestorm if there is enough fuel and conditions are right. In a firestorm, the fire is so big that it depleats all the "local" oxygen from the air, and then air is "sucked in" from everywhere around the firestorm. The fire itself has created its own supporting air movement (wind) so it can "breathe" freely. Use the link below to learn more.
