Currently, and for the past 50 years or more, the idea has been "fire suppression at all cost". Prior to that, studies have shown that periodic natural fires cleaning out the understory actually kept the forests from burning like they have the last few years. 

Some species of conifer have cones that open when exposed to fire. They open when exposed to the periodic fires of history. They are destroyed when exposed to the horrific fires that have developed in recent years.
