Yup. We are facing the same thing in the National Forests here (NE Washington). The last couple of years have had wet summers but once we get a couple of hot, dry summers, the forests are going to burn to the ground. There are huge swaths of dead trees thanks to the pine beetles and not being able to clean them out with logging. There is also a huge amount of fuel on the ground thanks to not being able to clean out the windfall, etc.
Once a fire starts here, it won't be going out until the snow comes.
