Fires move fastest uphill because heat rises. Experiment: Light a match and hold it with the tip up and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway down the matchstick. Then light another match, hold it tip down and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway up the stick. Be careful not to burn yourself!
uphill, for an experiment look for "Do forest fires move faster uphill or down hill
Forest fires generally move faster uphill due to the speed at which flames spread uphill due to the preheating and drying of fuel, creating an upslope wind effect that pushes the fire upslope.

Why does grass fires burn faster than forest fires?
Grass fires burn faster than forest fires because grass is shorter and has a higher surface-to-volume ratio, allowing the fire to spread more quickly. Grass also tends to dry out faster than larger trees in forests, making it more flammable. Additionally, grass fires are typically more prone to wind-driven spread compared to forest fires.

Why don't they use oxygen bombs to put out forest fires?
Oxygen is a component that fuels fires, so using oxygen bombs would actually make the fire burn hotter and faster. Oxygen bombs would worsen rather than help extinguish forest fires.
