It is good for the Savanna because it clears away dead plants etc. It returns the nutrients from the organic matter to the soil where it can be reused. There are some species of plant whose seeds are heat activated and will only begin growing immediately after a fire.

Savanna's habitats have dry wood and don't have much water for many things, so they catch very easy and can't be put out too easy. There are no firemen usually but it's okay because it will stop some time in human history. Peace!

Fires bring both death and life to the plants of the savanna/chaparral. clearance of thick and ageing vegetation offers a lifeline to long dormant seeds and bulbs in the soil below. encourages and promotes new life. some species rely on the intense heat of the fire to spark their germination. these so'called "fire followers" make a colourful but temporary display in spring after a fire, while regenerating shrubs eg. manzanita, evergreen oak, California poppy, sage are more permanent species.
