Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

fires help some plants release their seeds and it clears out the dead plants which allows the forest to grow more in the long run. What can be bad though is that fires can destroy the habitats for different species and as we saw with California, the smoke can make the air quality for breathing organisms very harmful.
