Bush fire is a misnomer one way it causes total destruction of forest, its animals and near by towns and villages. There is also another side of the coin, bush fire or forest fire in a controlled manner, brings totally new life, new growth to the forest. It helps to keep the forest health.

Then you may ask me how is the forest fire helps in keeping the forest healthy?
In a thick forest area, when trees grow near by then there is a stiff competition for space, air and sunlight. Young health trees, shrubs, bushes do not get adequate chance to grow and with time the forest slowly gets stagnant and it is not favorable for the over all perspective for the forest.

Bush fire or wild fire
In forest thick unwanted, harmful weeds grow, which compete with the other vegetation. Some times it so happens that some very powerful foreign species too competes with the native species.

Therefore it is good to have wild fire lit naturally or deliberately but in a controlled manner helps in conservation of forest the eco-system. Wild fire acts as a trimmer or natural cleaner of the forest.

The wild forest fire helps in removing unhealthy and dry vegetation. Forest fire helps in survival of the fittest species. Those trees and other vegetation which survives get scope for survival for longer period of time. Those remaining are healthier spices and its seeds give rise to good plantation and helps in preservation certain native species. Therefore forest fire really helps the ecosystems.

Ash produced is a good fertilizer
The ash produced by wild fire helps as a fertilizer as it is rich in potash; carbon .So aftermath of wildfire on rain helps in germinates new vegetation, lush green grass lands, space both for trees and animals. The food chain becomes stranger, and thus the over environment and the eco-system gets benefits.

Food chain
When there is wild fire it creates space for germination of fresh, health, green, lush pastures which encourages the increase of herbivorous animals, with increase of herbivorous, carnivorous population will have sufficient food. Thru the forest will be health. Thus the whole food chain is reestablished

Therefore when the whole eco-system is benefited then indirectly men are also benefited. Most Important aspect of aftermath of wild fire is you get new and health grows of green grass, and other vegetation. It also helps in preservation of native species. Bottom line is balanced ecosystem and forest fires help the nature. It helps in cleaning the forest, paving way to healthier spices to survive and the whole ecosystem remains healthier and stronger.
