Top review. Strong emotional episode. The survivors of the attack clear up the dead and decide what to do next. This is a particularly emotional episode with some touching character moments. The episode is fairly slow in terms of plot development but it makes up for that with the scenes of emotion relating to death of loved ones and the associated guilt.
There is a plausible conflict about the best course of action for the group to take which is standard formula for survival movies, but this is made more interesting by relationships between certain characters. There are a number of powerful moments such as the scenes involving Andrea and Amy, plus the inevitable fate of Jim.

There is no mention or suggestion of any alien source in any of the material that I'm aware of or can Google , and the name "wildfire" could easily have been a reference to the common English saying "spreading like wildfire" - which also fits better with "Wildfire was declared ". You don't declare an infection or an event, but you do declare that you've lost control over it spreading.

Note that if you follow the "spreading like wildfire" idea, then Wildfire might be the day they lost control over the spread, rather than the day it was discovered. Flater Agreed, you don't declare a disease - but you can declare a state of response to it, or declare the activation of a protocol for it, or declare that you have lost containment.
