This may be an unpopular opinion, but wildfires are healthy for nature, as they are an important part of the natural life cycle and are vital for regeneration of the landscape.
This definitely isn't wrong, and there is indeed a history of land management policies that have made some things worse than they otherwise would be by being overly aggressive in trying to prevent wildfires, but I would note it is an incomplete picture of things. Unless we're going to use eminent domain to reverse human settlement of certain fire-prone areas - which, idk, maybe we should, but that is definitely going to be a difficult sell politically - it's sort of inevitable that we need to contain at least some of the more threatening fires. Even more so when climate change is causing unnatural levels of drought in these areas and thus producing fires on greater scales than would otherwise happen.
