【解析】
1. 考查过去分词作后置定语:fireman与call为被动关系,故填called;
2. 考查固定搭配stop...from doing sth:from为介词,后接动名词,故填spreading;
3. 考查副词作状语:此处修饰整个句子,用sad的副词形式,故填Sadly;
4. 考查形容词作表语:be动词后接形容词,danger的形容词为dangerous,故填dangerous;
5. 考查主谓一致:主语a forest fire为第三人称单数,一般现在时谓语用starts,故填starts;
6. 考查现在分词作定语:burning修饰trees表“正在燃烧的”,主动关系用现在分词,故填burning;
7. 考查固定短语put out:意为“扑灭”,符合语境,故填out;
