No.

Some conifer trees rely on wildfires in order to grow. The seedlings do not sprout if there is no fire.

Wildfires can also

  • decrease brush
  • kill off parasites (such as pine-beetles)
  • increase fertility of the soil
  • increase rate of decomposition
  • cull weak or diseased trees and animals
  • provide a fire break if done purposefully
