While I agree with you on forest fires and the American West is having a very bad season this year. Forest fires are common place in the US West because of the hot dry semi-arid nature of the US West , they are not in Europe. Climate change will probably change that.
However, this image is not from a fire alone. This is from Mother earth. The trees try to grow but they are growing on hostile acid soil among vents and geysers ( ranging from Old Faithful spouting off over 100 feet in the air every 90 +/- minutes down to thousands of smaller ones spouting eruptions a of few feet at random ) - a geothermal wonderland known as Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is still a very active volcano.
However, fire is Mother nature's way of renewal. In the vast area of the Southeaster US, particularly Florida before man settled on average every area was burned every third year. The case was the dry seasons in the spring and early summer ignited by lightning strikes for summer thunderstonreus. In fact the native longleaf pines that dominated the forest in the Southeast required fire for the cones to open and drop their seeds. The Lodgepole pines of the US West which are primary tree in Yellowstone also require fire to drop their seeds. I the land is allowed to burn off periodically the pines will survive and the brush undergrowth will be burned. A healthy longleaf pine or lodgepole pine forest is open large mature healthy trees, most of them will burn marks on their large trunks. A healthy forest is one that is easy to walk through.
Mother Nature had reached a harmony long before man showed up. As man insists moving closer to nature, Mother Nature is not going to change her ways. In the Southeastern US man still insist in moving onto the Atlantic coast - an area that has been lashed by massive tropical storms and hurricanes. In the US West, man insists on living in "fire country."
