> Everyone involved seems to suggest that the fire is a net positive for the forest, and an overdue ecological renewal. Nature has adopted to occasional fire, difference here is that humans decided they can stop forest fires. And we did. But with that the undergrowth became more and more dangerous. This slow buildup results in bigger and more aggressive fires. I am not sure how those are impacting the forests vs natural more mild fires.
