Forest fire

Barbara Wright suggested that the petrified jungle on Skaro had endured a forest fire. (TV: The Daleks)

In either 2066 (COMIC: The Archives of Phryne) or the 2080s, (PROSE: Captain Scarlet in Death Crash! et al.) the Canadian Forest Fire Patrol attended to the worst timber forest blaze it had experienced in years, which had already destroyed an estimated forty million dollars worth of timber by the time they arrived on the scene. (COMIC: The Archives of Phryne) The fire, which was started by Sam Lincoln in an attempt to kill his business partner (PROSE: Captain Black Surrenders) Jack Farrel, ultimately proved too tough for Canada's emergency services to handle, with International Rescue eventually coming to their aid. (PROSE: Captain Scarlet in Death Crash!) The Head of the Fire Patrol ordered a full inquiry into how the fire started in its aftermath. (COMIC: The Archives of Phryne)
