Not true Regular forest fires are needed by nature. There are some pinecones that only open at high temperatures reached during a fire. The problem is that we put out forest fires instead of letting them burn. So when it does happen there is far more fuel than there should be naturally. This leads to the fire burning hotter and causing ecological damage. Controlled burns are a great thing.
