you have to understand that you've got a perfect storm brewing here...
A: decades of forest mismanagement by envirocultists who ignore the direction of every single expert on the subject and refuse to implement any sort of controlled burns, brush clearing, selective logging (taking trees that will allow the rest of the trees around it to grow faster).
...which has caused there to be billions of dead standing old growth and underbrush so thick most animals can't even get through it...
combined with
B: a bunch of fuckwit communists, socialists, and destructive anarchists who don't understand consequences and personal responsibility... all whipped up into a fury by their own imagined slights and a media gleefully and greedily spraying gas onto the societal bonfire.
it's going to be a shitshow, there's nobody left in charge with the balls or the pride to stop them.
Hire people to manage the forests with selective logging, denisty management, controlled/prescribed burns, and brush clearing
or
We allow nature to take it's course and stop fighting natural fires from lightning strikes.
The consequence for not picking one or the other leaves us with ticking timebombs of uncontrollable wildfires that have a massive and abundant fuel supply just sitting there begging for a spark.

Windstorms come up in northwest Montana and knock down old dying trees. Kindling. Mother nature will do the rest. Sad.
there really are only 2 choices here...

The conditions for rampant wildfires have been laid for decades. {They’re} just waiting for the best time to strike the match.
