Are continent wide forest fires possible?

The setting I have in mind is an Earth-similar planet which has most of its landmass covered in forests. A civil conflict on this planet ingnites forests fires, which then spread. I was wondering if this fire would be able to spread throughout an entire continent if said forest was mostly continuous and there was no fire stopping service available. Is such a continent wide forest even possible?
