Why is it good for yellow stone to get on fire?

Areas such as Yellowstone are protected forested areas. Other areas especially in Oregon, Alaska, and Minnesota are classified as protected "Wilderness" where you cannot even enter without a permit. But, for Yellowstone and every forest ecosystem fires, while devastating eventually improve the ecosystem. When trees and other foliage are burned their seeds drop to the forest floor and are insulated from the heat and flames. The result is an even more lush forest and ecosystem, although this takes many years to occur after the fire. This is why fire departments do not act to stop a forest fire in a protected area unless there is an immediate threat to homes and/or businesses.
