The article presents the results of a series of mesoscale experiments to study wildfires and their impact on the atmosphere. A change in meteorological parameters, a significant increase in fluctuations of the refractive index, speed of sound and temperature in the vicinity of the experiment, which are a reflection of the occurrence of turbulent processes in the atmosphere, were established, experimental data were obtained on changes in the concentration of methane and carbon dioxide as a result of a fire, and data were obtained on the mechanism of occurrence of crown fire.
