This is absolutely wrong..
It wasn't until man cut down the medieval forest that we had wild fires. In mother nature's way we don't have low branches on trees to promote Plumbing thru the forest canopy.
Uh, no. That's just ignorant.
Maybe the redwoods you cite didn't burn, but look at the make-up of places like the Canadian Shield (which has remained largely uninhabited), and you'll find evidence that forest fires have been around almost as long as cloud-based static electricity has been around.
