Walk through an old pine forest and you will see the scars.

The trees are tall and strong, near the base are small damages, blackened areas, even indentations.

The forest was burned, but a control burn. Dead grass is missing, healthy tall plants are all around. Nothing for a wild forest fire to eat.
