Strong flares of the H2O maser emission in sources associated with active star-forming regions are analyzed. The main characteristics of 13 flares in nine sources selected using special criteria are presented. The observed phenomena are explained as flares in double emission features. The approach of two emission features in the spectrum with increasing flux and their recession with decreasing flux is explained using a model with two physically related clumps of material that are partially superposed in the line of sight. Calculations have shown that, in this type of model, exponential amplification (unsaturated maser emission) in the overlapping parts of the clumps can produce the observed line narrowing with increasing flux. In most cases, the maser spots are inhomogeneous. During the evolution of some flares, the maser condensations may split into separate fragments. A less catastrophic evolutionary path may be an initial stage of formation of chainlike structures, which are fairly widespread in envelopes around ultracompact HII regions.
