Being a forester I know that removing mature and over mature trees reduce the fire hazard. These older trees die and fall down creating downed woody debris which is great fuel for a fire. If they log all of or portions of these stands they are creating fire breaks in the forest. Yes a fire will travel through a clearcut but it will be on the ground where it can be more easily fought whereas if it were in a mature stand it could be 100' in the air and much more difficult to fight. In a world undisturbed by man the forest may burn qiute frequently but years of fighting fires and forest pests have created an un-natural amount of older trees a that are more susceptible to fires and this results in larger fires of greater intensity. So I say log away but end the tariff on Canadian Lumber
