The largest forest fires in the world's _recorded_ history would be the 1997-98 Indonesian forest fires. though the fires after the hypothesised meteorite falling in the Mexico gulf probably released enough energy to start volcanoes and forest fires throughout all the continents.

the Indonesian fire burned on and off for 2 years. the biggest single fire was in Queensland, Australia. started on the 1/11/74 and burned throughout the Thargomindah, Bulloo Shire, Boulia Urandangie, McKinlay Shire. it burnt around 7,300,000ha.
