Thank you, Sierra Club (which, according to Fox News, fought clearing underbrush from the area and kept an access road used to speed such clearing closed).......

They warn that years of logging, development and forest mismanagement have left the Tahoe area particularly vulnerable to catastrophic wildfires.
I'm going to need someone to explain to me how logging contributes to wildfires. Usually, it is the lack of logging that leaves forests at risk.
