Wildfires may burn up deep tangled undergrowth, remove shading trees, and allow other plant species to get a head start in beginning the forest regeneration. There are some species of trees, whose seeds actually need to be in a wildfire, before the seed will begin to sprout. The wood ash is a source of potash, which is a fertilizer. Many animals that live in burrows will survive the flames, as most wildfires travel quickly and so do not burn too deeply. It is mainly human dwellings, property and road networks, that is damaged most by a wildfire, and the possibility of death to residents and fire fighters is always a risk.
