I wouldn't lead with bushfire as it's mainly an Aus/NZ term. GG5 and most other JEs just 
have "forest fire" without any mountain qualification. I guess in the Japanese context 
forest fires are usually in mountain areas because that's where the forests are.
I'll reopen it if anyone wants to discuss it further.

If 山火事 is best translated as "bushfire/wildfire" in most cases, shouldn't those come before "forest fire"?
