There are strategies and tactics to fight any wildfire, and these will be adopted by those fighting the wildfire, depending where they are. The keys to bringing a wildfire under control revolve around terrain, weather, and the Natural Resources available for the fire fighters. In almost all cases, the fire cannot be "put out" because of its size and the lack of a medium to extinguish it all. We use fire breaks and attempt to make stops where geography, fuel loads and access by the fire crews (with or without heavy equipment) can act in concert to make a stop effective. These tactics are known to those who fight wild land fires throughout the world, and it's just a question of getting enough properly equipped personnel in the right place to cut off the advance of a fire.
