re: fire to germinate?



I would sure like to know more,  about seeds requiring fire to
germinate.
How does the seed protect itself from being consumed by the
fire??...Ranjit

If I had the post from last year, Diane Whitehead mentioned something
about a  South African plant that would not germinate without a fire.
What does this mean.  Something about a brush fire that happens in the
plains that starts the germination process.  If I remember correctly ,
she had some process by placing it into the oven and burning it for
awhile.  

Is this right?
