Forest fires can be devastating to the areas they burn, but the forest will heal itself. The Bullock fire spread over Mt. Lemmon in May of 2002 and cost over $13 million to contain. After destroying 30,000 acres of forest the landscape is scarred. Nine years after the fire, the forest is beginning to repair itself. Dead trees stand next to new life in the forest. Areas of the burned landscape have becoming green again. New life has begun in this desolate landscape and is beginning to overshadow the devastation. Although forest fires are destructive, they give the burned area a second chance to flourish. These burned areas will always show their scar from the fire and trees that survived will proudly show their burned bark for years to come.
