A wildfire is intense, but usually short lived, most dont last, they go and fuck themselves. Every now and then you have one that lasts well over a year, but not hundreds or thousands of years. At some point, it burns out. Fuel isnt renewable, once its burned up, it's gone for good.
She wanted everybody to think it was the Chinese covering up a leak from a lab that started the wildfire like spread of the coronavirus, when really it was always her.
If New Yorkers didn't tell the wildfire go fuck itself, if they looked the gift horse in the mouth and let it parade around their streets, they were going to end up overrrun by it one day, and the strange soldiers arriving/hiding inside it (male or female) were just a little too nerdy as kids for New Yorkers to allow this kind of takeover to happen.
Wildfires are fires that spread in forests. (or acres?)
Wildfires are caused by unattended campfires, the burning of the debris, equipment use and malfunctions, and intentional acts of ars0n. Lightning strikes could be the cause of it too.
