Also with the influence of the Smokey the Bear campaign and clear-cutting, over the years large areas got heavily over-stocked with trees. This creates a greater demand for water, which in drought years cannot be supplied. This weakens the trees making them more vernable to the beetles, etc. Which in turn gives us steep slopes heavy with dry fuel.
