A forest fire is not always started by us, (Although, that is the case for many. ) Like during a dry period of time, and just sheer exposure to the heat can catch something on fire. Since fire's like these are natural, people do not react as badly as a human started fire. BUT all fires are dangerous, and people just want to control it. NOW, when the fire goes out, there is a large amount of ash, dead animals, tree remains. Don't take this as a bad thing! After a few weeks, seeds that lay dormant just below the surface spring up at the large amount of nutrients and feast on it. Allowing the plants to grow big, and fast.

What do forest fires do to the environment?
Forest fires have numerous benefits for plants and animals because they increase diversity. In the process of forest succession, in which bare rock may be converted into mature forests over a long time, certain plants and animals are better adapted to exploiting certain circumstances along that continuum. In fact, there are certain plants and animals that require fires to survive and reproduce. A mature forest requires plants to be shade tolerant, and food is actually quite scarce for most animals. An early successional forest benefits plants that require more sunlight to survive, and promotes the growth of plants that grow and spread quickly. As the forest regrows, its character changes and different plants and animals come and go to exploit the situation that suits them best. Without fires, if everything tended toward mature forest, many plants and animals would have a more difficult time surviving. There is also a complicated web of nutrients that are recycled by way of a forest fire.
