forests, and stuff.

Forest fires happen so often in British Columbia, and most people automatically think of it as a bad thing. Not only can forest fires happen naturally, but they have to in order to clear out old trees and make room for new plants to grow, and well as kill the pine beetle. Humans have started forest fires before in the past, and in some cases it has been tragic and very unfortunate, but does that mean we should try to stop forest fires from occuring completely? I believe we should take pre-cautions and try to prevent starting forest fires ourselves, however I don't believe we should go out of our way to prevent natural forest fires as well.
