Fire needs oxygen to keep going, so once it eats enough it replaces the oxygen with carbon Dioxide
Forest fires release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere that was previously stored in trees and vegetation. While initially increasing carbon emissions, the regrowth of forests after fires can result in carbon sequestration as new trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Overall, forest fires are a natural part of the carbon cycle, but their impact on atmospheric carbon levels can vary depending on various factors such as fire frequency, intensity, and ecosystem recovery.
Humans Contributing To Forest FiresPeople can contribute to forest fires by starting them. Many forest fires are begun because of human carelessness. Smoking, machines, recreation, and campfires are the main reasons humans begin forest fires.Natural Forest Fire CausesLightening and a mixture of drought/windy climates can result in forest fires.
A forest fire is an example of a chemical change because the heat from the fire causes the organic materials in the forest, such as trees and plants, to undergo combustion and break down into different chemical substances like carbon dioxide, water vapor, ashes, and smoke. This transformation of the original substances into new ones is a chemical change.
After a forest fire, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere can increase significantly, as the combustion of vegetation releases carbon stored in trees and soil. The exact amount of CO2 released depends on the size of the fire, the type of vegetation burned, and environmental conditions. Generally, large wildfires can release millions of tons of CO2, contributing to short-term spikes in atmospheric CO2 levels. However, the increase is temporary, as natural processes and reforestation can eventually help sequester carbon again over time.
Fire releases heat and carbon dioxide. The carbon depends on how the fire is burnt. Unburnt hydrocarbons are released if fire is not complete.

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.
It can't cause a forest fire, but it can contribute to its spread, especially if there are high winds.
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

if there was nothing being burnt off(vapors), nothing would be burning.
Carbon oxidation/reduction. The carbon typically comes from tree wood (eg a forest fire) or fossil fuel (coal or oil).
In savannas, the carbon cycle involves the transfer of carbon between different components of the ecosystem. Vegetation in savannas takes up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and stores it in their biomass. When plants and animals in the savanna die and decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Additionally, fire plays a significant role in the savanna carbon cycle by releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.

A forest fire is a chemical change because it involves combustion, which is a rapid chemical reaction that produces heat and light. The burning of trees and vegetation in a forest fire involves the chemical reaction between the fuel (organic matter) and oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other byproducts.
