Ponderosa pine and Lodgepole pine "need" fire for propagation.  Redwoods do 
better with fire.

As to lightning fires, well, right now we have one burning that was started 
by lightning on July 26.  It is at over 100,000 acres, 85% contained.  One 
started by lightning on July 23, over 30,000 acres, 95% contained.  One 
started by lightning on July 24, over 15,000 acres, 95% contained.

Not unusual to have lightning strike fires out here.
