This! You can blame Colorado tree huggers for 40 yrs of abysmal forest management. Drove through the area burning 20 years ago and all you could see in any direction were dead beetle killed trees. It is ripe for burning!! No one would allow the trees to me harvested to remove the fire danger too. Because of Colorado's anti-logging policies, there are no more lumber mills in Colorado too reverse the bad policy, so it's highly likely Colorado forests will continue to burn.
