In English the word is forest fires.

I'm English and I rather like fireforests even though this is the first time I've seen it. To me it gives an impression of a bigger problem than forest fire. To me it works like this: a forest fire is a fire in a forest whereas a fireforest is a whole forest on fire, much scarier.
That's an interesting point, but I was confused for about 15 seconds. Maybe it's because I studied Korean instead of Spanish.
