Best Answer

Fires, whether prescribed or wild, are an essential component of the long-term health of an ecosystem, improving the diversity of plant and animal life and aiding the nutrient cycle.

Wildfires can be dangerous and costly to lives and property, and parks do their best to avoid loss to life or property when a wildfire does occur. Prescribed fires, which are performed under ideal conditions, serve to limit the occurrence and intensity of wildfires.

Campfires are generally allowed in designated areas in parks, though there may be temporary bans if the fire danger index is extreme.
