    Yes, occasional small forest fires are actually good for nature. Young trees csn grow, more resistant than the old wood against storms and pests. A lot in nature even relies on those cycles, pioneer weeds as an example. We really only made things more convenient for us short term with managed woods, without understanding half of it.
