I heard it's the underbrush accumulation from years of fire
suppression that can lead to uncontrollable fires in the future.  I
was in Yosemite Valley last summer when they were doing a controlled
burn to remove some of that vegetation without clearing trees.  The
trees were certainly scarred by fire, but their nature is to survive
small fires.
