The given statement would be False.

The burning of organic compounds increases more and more amount of carbon dioxide in the environment, there is no chance that the carbon dioxide will decrease.

The amount of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other harmful substances increases due to fire.

Large scale fires will increase pollution in the environment.
