"Roaring flames, burned-out houses and cars, hazy air and orange skies are all
around us. Already this year, millions of hectares have been torched by more
than 2,200 wildfires in Canada.
In the midst of another unprecedented fire season, it is easy to see fire as a
destructive force to be controlled at all costs.
Through more than 100 years of aggressive fire suppression, we have been
conditioned to fear and demonize fire. From an ecological point of view,
however, fire is a normal and often beneficial process.
Today, small but active groups of ecologists and land managers on the Canadian
Prairies are using fire to renew and rejuvenate grassland ecosystems, enhance
biological diversity and even to prevent catastrophic wildfire."
