I don't know anything about this specific case but wildfires generally are very normal and actually necessary for a forest's ecosystem in many places. In many parts of the Rockies for instance they are important for biodiversity and the carbon cycle.

Obviously that's dependent on frequency and impact and the current trend is leaning towards too many and too devestating due to climate change and human impact in general. Just wanted to give the perspective that fire and the death of shrubs and bushes (which are mostly affected in natural fires) isn't really a bad thing, for those who don't know - like me up until recently when this was lectured in my class.
