Gordon White, in Ani.mystic, talks about how Indigenous peoples regularly burned the forests to discharge the fire energy, to prevent bigger fires. Jenny Odell, in Saving Time, talks about the same practice. She says we over-romanticise our depictions of nature, saying this is a picture formed after we destroyed Indigenous fire practices. This would be a good book to read on this topic: https://www.hardiegrant.com/au/publishing/bookfinder/book/fire-country-by-victor-steffensen/9781741177268
