The passage uses a specific example to discuss how forest fires was treated in the United State has changed. Since the 1960s, people had tented to believe that the best way to deal with forest fires is to "let it burn". However, after a devastating wild fire in Yellowstone in 1988, this has started to change.
In that disaster, people began to realize that human intervention to forest fire is necessary, and three reasons are discussed in the passage. First, the fire can cause an inestimable damage to the plants and other vegetation. To be specific, around a third of the park's big plants and almost all of the small plants were eliminated during the wild fire. Second, the fire has also affected animals. While big animals were witnessed to escape from the fire, smaller ones were unable to do so. What is more, the fire has also made the forest inhabitable for animals. Last but not least, this disaster has resulted in a dramatic drop in the number of tourists visiting the national park, which is of great economic significance.
Based on the three reasons above, many people has been convinced that the "let it burn" policy is not suitable for getting rid of forest fires in the wake of the 1988 wild fire in Yellowstone.
