Natural disasters

Fire is the burning of a material, reducing it to ash or various other residues, while releasing heat and light. In the Warriors series, it plays a fairly important part: fires destroy parts of the forest, and fire also appears in several prophecies, most notably related to Firestar and his kin, and to Bluestar. It is also used as a metaphor for dedication and heroism, such as when Bluestar says that Fireheart is "living fire".

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Goosefeather delivers a prophecy about Bluestar at the sight of a burning branch: "Like fire, you are destined to blaze through the forest", meaning that she will have an important mission.

Into the Wild

 * The prophecy "Fire will save the Clan" is delivered by Spottedleaf when she sees a shooting star going across the sky. Later, Rusty joins ThunderClan, and he is named Firepaw because of his pelt color.

Fire and Ice

 * The fire appearing in the book title refers to Fireheart, and his dedication to the Clan.
 * In the Prologue, Tallstar is shown to be sitting on a log with flames around it.

Rising Storm

 * At the end of the book, a fire strikes ThunderClan's camp, and it kills Yellowfang, Halftail and Patchpelt. Bluestar identifies it with the "fire" prophecy, and she loses her faith in StarClan, seeing that the fire almost destroyed the Clan instead of saving it.

A Dangerous Path

 * It is revealed that Fireheart is the "fire" which the prophecy told about. Bluestar describes him as "living fire", with the warmth of fire to protect his Clan and the ferocity of fire to defend it.

Midnight

 * Cinderpelt sees some burning rubbish and has a vision of a tiger leaping from the flames. She believes that it means that Squirrelpaw (Firestar's kin) and Brambleclaw (Tigerstar's kin) will bring danger to the Clan.

Sunset

 * Brambleclaw sees that Twolegs started a fire on the clearing near the ShadowClan border to cook their meal, and fears that they will set the forest to fire, but in the end, they don't.

Outcast

 * There is a prophecy telling about "kin of the kin of the one with fire in his pelt". This refers to Firestar's kin. This prophecy also appears in Firestar's Quest.

Long Shadows

 * In this book, a fire strikes ThunderClan's camp once more. Fortuantly, no cat dies. The cats shelter in the Abandoned Twoleg Nest during the fire.

The Fourth Apprentice

 * A small fire strikes ThunderClan's camp. A water patrol of Graystripe, Cloudtail and Lionblaze throw the moss at the fire in order to stop it.
