Fun fact! First nations used fire to control the landscape with controlled burns. Then white people and Smokey the Bear came along to suppress all fires. Unfortunately when you do that, then the amount of fuel just accumulates, and, combined with climate change, you get super-fires like the ones we've been seeing recently.
