It does not need to be raked clean, but there currently is decades of fuels sitting in wait.
Forests are cyclical, keep that in mind when looking at fires across our country. Fires also used to burn for years before being suppressed naturally
Also, the fire in Banff this week was a RX burn that got out of control. Sadly, most of their burns go this way. Terrain and intense fuel loads.
