Forests: "lock 'em up, burn 'em down".(Insider Report)
During the last two weeks of April, California experienced a statewide, record-breaking heat wave that threatens to start the wildfire season early this summer. Dozens of cities sweltered under temperatures hovering around 100 degrees. Deadly firestorms ravaged Southern California last year, but the much larger, denser, brush-clogged forests in the northern half of the state may provide a far greater conflagration this summer. In addition to the mounting fire hazard, California, like much of the rest of the country, is experiencing a severe wood-product shortage. Prices for lumber, plywood and particle board have skyrocketed, doubling and tripling in the past year. This, in turn, drives up the cost of housing construction.
