Very recently I made a tree farm and when they finally grew I did the easy thing, I burnt the leaves and that somehow caught on outside and for about 2 ingame days I have had a forest fire here are some pictures during my firefighting.At the end I'll show you a finished version but I doubt it will ever end.
Has this happened to you before? Discuss and tell me any tips for fighting fires, currently I'm going from one end of the fire to the other so it doesn't spread out again. Then I also stop the possibility of spreading as well.

Talent didn't go anywhere, it just gets lost in all the noise. You have to find it.
Tend to forget about what? Fire burning? I didn't see it happening for 5 minutes. By that time it spread so bad it forces me to spend 3 days firefighting.
Quite ironic it happened on a Saturday, BUT not funny.

Unlike some I actually like the trees and anyway I had to fight it off my big tree before(by big I mean stacked on each other). Plus it's fun fighting it off and it should be too long before it ends.

Make a system of stone walkways around the general area, so you can easily navigate the fire.
Man, I can't wait for water physics in InfDev. Then you could make an underwater tree orchard, and if a tree caught fire, just flood the room. Thats what I do on InDev.
It happened to me last week... It was the first time I had built a "Flint and Steel" tool, and I tried it on the nearest tree. The whole forest caught fire, I fought during several hours, and eventually a 150x100 area of forest was destroyed. But it could have been worse, there were several cliffs that helped containing the fire.
I tried a few methods. Clearing leaves is the best way to stem the fire, however the cleared area have to be quite wide. It seems to me that 4 blocks is the minimum. Thus, it is very difficult to proceed in stiff forests, especially in infdev, where trees can be huge.
I also tried to fight the fire itself: In other words, I climbed on the top of the trees and deleted the burning leaves and trunks. But it's insanely dangerous, and if I wasn't playing in "peaceful" mode, I would've died dozens of times... I once was in a fairly high tree, stopped the fire only on the top, then got trapped by flames coming from the lower half. Yet, it's actually efficient in trees that aren't very high, if you proceed from on side of the fire to another.
Forest fires in Minecraft are quite realistic, they spread at amazing speeds, and fighting them is very stressful.
3 options if you are ever in this situation:
hack: water block, dynamite, or just erase burning trees
let it burn: the title says it all
dynamite/closeoff/delete: seperate trees with air or blocks, and let the inside burn

What? So when pigs get hit by lighting, they suddenly develop into bipeds and receive brown leather skirts and golden swords from nowhere?
Oh btw, I did my research on this, And I learnt how fire spreads!
Fire is a block. It will search any adjacent blocks that are considered flammable, then spread to them.
E.g. [iron]
Iron is air, brick is fire.
The wood will catch on fire, as the air brick could be considered 'flammable'
This makes the minimum distance 3 blocks apart.
Using L shaped gaps seems to increase it's spread rate (I think it also spread's diagonally)
Anyway, that's what I learnt. Oh, the fastest way to get rid of a forest fire would probably be hitting out the middle of one row of trees FAR AWAY from the fire, but in the same forest. (not possible for infdev.)

The cake is NOT a lie!
So don't punch creepers next to your house..

But it wasn't that epic?

A simple suggestion on geology here.
