What is the danger of a forest fire?

This area of the Cascades experiences forest fires very rarely for one major reason: it is on the west side of the mountains, which is where the clouds stack up and drop their rain before moving on. This is one of the reasons that the area is so moist, with many year-round unnamed streams, and why the trees grow so rapidly. Our best assessment of when Arrowhead Pass last experienced a fire was well over 500 years ago.
