Natural forest fires are not actually bad, in an ecological sense- they ensure that there's a good balance of new and old growth, and most animals are able to escape, either that.. or.. fertilize the land, to put it one way. It's only their danger to private property, lumber, etc. that make them so abhored.
Regardless of all that, I still love them. I've been in the midst of two in person, it's the most amazing thing.
