You're confusing wildfires with bushfires.

Many of those forests need to burn regularly. Check with a qualified forester for your area but often the forest needs to burn so who cares.

Fire isn’t needed at any intensity at any time of year, every year. Fire adapted plants can be and are getting over-burned by fires that are getting more intense (less rain, more heat). This is exacerbated by non-native plants (especially grasses and eucalyptus) that outcompete the native plants and are then extra vulnerable to fire.
