When a wildfire breaks out, its name gives first responders a way to track and prioritize different fires. According to AccuWeather, dispatch centers sending the initial crews to a wildfire usually name the fire, though they can also be named by the first engine on the scene or another fire official. Names usually come from a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake or mountain near the fire's origin. http://abc7.com/3862819
