Wildfires are actually good. It's the houses in the way that are an issue.

They can be. When the result of left-over timber and various organic debris left by indiscriminate logging it's a different story.

How is it different? A tornado can come through and drop trees as well. Disease can wipe out trees as well. Fire ban wipe out invasives and some seeds need fire to germinate. Native trees can handle fire as well.
Fire is healthy which keeps the fuel load down. This logging may concentrate the fuel but the remedy is still fire.
