Forest fires do contribute to CO2 emissions, but naturally occurring forest fires are part of the carbon sequestration cycle. The ash, and charcoal leftover from forest fires trap carbon and provide for nutrients for the next forest.
It’s not great to have half a continent burn at once, but regular, controlled fires are a net sink for carbon.
