"They are in for a special kind of hell when some of those sections of forest catch on fire."
True, but dry, living, needle clad trees are much worse. All that resin. Explosive, one might say. Dead forest snags won't crown out and run you over, tho the ground fire with wind may catch you.
I'd rather from experience fight bare dead-tree fire than dry, needled, live tree fire. Dead trees with their needles still on are a whole different class!
