Sawmills act to relieve wildfire threat from Hurricane Helene debris
Fox News
The local timber industry in areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene took the opportunity to help thwart wildfire risks and boost domestic timber production.
"It's a resource that God gave us, and we need to recycle it instead of letting it rot into the ground," Evans said. "If we don't get those dead trees out of the forest, then you're going to have a forest fire. Then it's going to wipe out all your good timber as well as your dead timber."
There have been at least eight wildfires in areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene since the storm ripped through the Great Smoky Mountains in September.
