The right forest fire will turn trees into charcoal and sequester the carbon. However doing this correctly is really tricky. There are many different forests and they all have slightly different needs. Make sure your government allocates enough money to proper forest management. Make sure that you oppose "environmental" groups that have heard smokey the bear years ago and think all fire is bad thus they get court injunctions against prescribed burning to the long term harm of the forest.
