Fire isn’t needed at any intensity at any time of year, every year. Fire adapted plants can be and are getting over-burned by fires that are getting more intense (less rain, more heat). This is exacerbated by non-native plants (especially grasses and eucalyptus) that outcompete the native plants and are then extra vulnerable to fire.
Many of those forests need to burn regularly. Check with a qualified forester for your area but often the forest needs to burn so who cares.

You’re confusing wildfires with bushfires.
