Basically isn’t it basically too much fuel under trees that enviro-wackos refused to allow to be removed?
You can have a log laying across the road next to a mill and they will not let you remove any of the log not on the road.
If you had oil spilling on the ground they would not let you clean it up and wonder why a spark caused a fire. We have 40,000 square miles of spilled oil in Oregon being mismanaged.
