Key phrase: working to process salvage wood killed in the mountain pine beetle epidemic while it retained value for commodity lumber production . . . before it deteriorates.
In Colorado, for example: About 10 percent of the value was lost in the first year after death, primarily because of blue stain. Trees dead more than 2 years produced no high-quality lumber and were affected by blue stain, checking, rot, and wood borers.

I just logged on after a long spell and saw this post. I thought I should share. I live in Santa Rosa, CA.
We thankfully did not lose our house, but too many friends and coworkers did lose their homes. We did evacuate during the fires in October and luckily had time to pack up the car and bring the cat. The fires came within about a mile and a half of our house in a large park behind our neighborhood. Our community is strong and rebuilding. What once were burnt out patches of rubble were turned into dirt lots and now some are starting to rebuild. We are thankful that our family and house were OK, and thankful to be able to help out those who were not as lucky. It's spring now, and burnt patches of earth have given way to green. I hope all those in the Ventura area were OK.
