Again not a expert but forest fires have been happening before man was a thing.

That is indeed very interesting: factual history/evolution/botany/ecology/chemistry.
Clearly fire was nature's original way - and the way I would prefer, except that humanity has changed nature so much that the 'nature way' has big potential and actual problems. And it now seems impossible to me to restore original forest conditions on any meaningful scale.
So my weasel answer is 'it depends'; fire when 'reasonable and practical'.
