The 2018 wildfire season involves wildfires on multiple continents. An extremely rare event occurred when wildfires broke out north of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia, with one burning on the Russia–Finland border near the Barents Sea on July 20.[1] By the end of the calendar year, the fires in British Columbia had burned more area than in any prior recorded year;[2] and California experienced the single largest (by area) fire on record, and a fire destroyed more structures than in any other in modern history.[3][4] Similarly, the UK saw the most wildfires ever recorded in a single year, at 76,[5] while Greece saw the deadliest wildfires in its history, with 102 casualties.
