A forest fire will release the carbon dioxide that the trees took out of the air as they grew, back into the air. After the fire is out this carbon dioxide will disperse into the atmosphere of the planet and be taken up as the new forest grows to replace the one that burned.
Thus therefore is a cycle or balance of Carbon Dioxide maintained by living things (including forests), the problem comes when people do not let the forest re-grow, then the Carbon Dioxide stays in the air.

Do fire produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Why are carbon dioxide fire extinguishers different from water ones?
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are generally used because they absorb the oxygen content present in the air and thus help in extinguishing fire.
What role does forest fire play in its carbon cycle?
the cycle of life. the trees get carbon dioxide and make oxygen. if we didn't have carbon we be dead .
What gas does fire create?
It depends on the fire, but if the fuel is largely organic matter and the amount of air is not restricted, the gas from the fire will be largely carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What sort of fire is a carbon dioxide fire?
Carbon dioxide does not burn.
How does a forest fire contribute to the carbon cycle?
Fire needs oxygen to keep going, so once it eats enough it replaces the oxygen with carbon Dioxide
Which gas do fire fighters use?
firefighters use carbon dioxide to put out fires.
What is present in a fire extinguisher?
Either water, or Carbon dioxide, or fine salt, or foam agent with water
What is produced after a fire?
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.
What happens when there is carbon dioxide around a fire?
the fire should exstinguish a carbon dioxide puts out flames as it is a common fire extinguisher
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
