hey! you left out 'fire storms'.

fire storms occur when conditions have reached such a dry state that forests spontaneously burst into flames.

when that happens, the fires are so intense, they cannot be extinguished, and have to burn themselves out.

they produce pyrocumulonimbus clouds - made up of soot, ash, and droplets of tar and oils, which form into raindrops - flaming raindrops, which in turn produce more fires.

the NWS tracks fire weather:
