Everyone is noting that fire is good for California forests. Which is correct. Some trees actually depend on it, and seeds in the ground will wait for a fire before sprouting - I don't know, a temperature change makes it happen, not sure. But, what is happening is that there is SO much extra wood and flamable materials because of suppression, that it is actually TOO hot and the seeds get burned to ashes.
