Then it's not restoration.
wild fires were natural where you live at one time. Would that be just putting the natural enviroment back in order?
Letting naturally started fires burn would be proper. (Actually, my preferred way of 'celebrating' Earth Day is putting up a poster showing a wildfire and the caption "do what comes naturally".) If we somehow artificially prevented all lightning, then it would be proper to deliberately restore lightning to start fires the way nature intended.
