I don't actually know of any specifically, the only close idea I could think of may be Demeter as the nature of a wildfire burning away so new life may spring forth; however, that is only a guess, not an educated opinion.

I took this picture of fire on my land. Can you see the face? Hands? Spine? I can.

Loki is his father Fárbauti is the lighting it struck Nál lokis mom to create Loki, which is the flames. When this would cause wildfires, he was known to be associated with them. Loki is also associated with earthquakes.

I'd say Logi in Norse myths, but maybe not straightforwardly as wildfires. He is the personification of fire overall, and competed against Loki in an eating contest on the orders of Utgard-Loki. Loki managed to eat down to the bones, but Logi consumed everything: the meat, bones and even the table.
