That's the excuse the forest companies use...it will all burn down anyway, so let's just rape the land.
Before selective logging was replaced by clearcutting, back in the 60's, you could go back in every 25 or so years and do more logging. It reduced the fire hazard, and was a much more sustainable operation. Mind you the forest companies are listening to some extent, and are starting to do a combination of clearcutting and selective logging in the cutblocks.
