Deflagratio silvae (lit., burning of the forest)
Here are some other words you can use for fire, if you prefer.
deflagratio -onis f. [burning, destruction by fire]
flamma -ae f. [a flame, blazing fire]
incendium -i n. [a conflagration, fire]
inflammatio -onis f. [a kindling, setting on fire, conflagration]
ignis -is m. [fire, conflagration; a watch-fire]
In English, forest is being used as an adjective to modify the noun forest. In Latin, you would say "fire of the forest" to be grammatically correct, as forest is a noun in Latin. I found a couple adjectives that meant forest, but they do not translate back into English as forest fire.

something along the lines of silva ignatus in the second declension singular nominative state. I would look up the genitive case for ignatus to make it characterize silva though.
it might be ignati.
