This will vary depending on species composition, site specific hazard abatement objectives and most significantly, the proportion of dead lodgepole pine in the stand.
In addition to overall fire hazard abatement there is an additional 168,661 m of lodgepole pine volume that exists on areas with a LOW and MODERATE fire hazard rating. Many of these stands have already been killed by MPB. Those that have not been killed have a high likelihood of being killed in the next five years.
