So
Dumb construction worker from off the farm in the lower 48 here, was wondering if the fires are so bad because the government says you can't cut down dead tress without them doing some sort of study and or paperwork?
We have beetle killed pockets of Nat'l forest that loggers, ranchers, and other people with common sense can see and report to the feds, but they will not allow any cutting until the paperwork and permits are issued.
I was told usually 3 to 5 years.
By then the trees are rotted, not worth cutting for even firewood, and then they go poooooofffffff at a lightning strike.
Good luck by the way with them fires and any hardships they are causing up there.
