Many California native plants adapt to fire. Some are threatened by it.

For the native flora here in California, fire is an essential part of their life cycle.
Every year the rainy season brings growth, and plants bloom and set seed, before the dry season brings decay. Fire is like a reset to the whole system, Evan Meyer, the director of the Theodore Payne Foundation, said. “Fire is … as much of the landscape as rain,” Meyer added, “the plants are adapted to it and they expect it.”
