Trees killed by Pine Beetles create more dangerous fires (earthtimes)

Fire ignites and spreads more easily in forests devastated by pine beetles,
making new fire management plans crucial. In areas where many trees have been
killed by pine beetle infestations, forest fires can spread more quickly, new
research says. The dead trees are much drier than live wood, as are the red
needles. The way fire behaves in areas struck by pine beetles, such as much of
British Columbia and Montana, is changing dramatically in a short time.
