Forest Fires the good and Bad!

Good

The good things about Forest Fires are it could help some trees and plants, like the a group of western shrubs known as Ceanothus. It is very dependant on fire. The reproduction of Jackpine, Lodgepole pine, and some other evergreens depends partyly on Forest Fires. In time, a fire releases out of them about a tempature of 122 degrees Farenheit. Fire also burns away all or most of the leaves and other natural litter.. Also many seedlings grow from such exposed seedbed than the surface covered with a deep layer of leaves. The cones of the jack pine tree, for instance, will not release their seeds unless exposed to intense heat. Sequoia or Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas, such as those cleared by fire.

Bad

It can kill animals and it would destroy their habitats. It can burn valuable timber. Sometimes lightning would start the fire but mostly human would start a fire accidently or purposely.
