The areas that are burning are not really large timber producers. The CZU fire is largely in protected state & county parks. The SCU and LNU fires are largely in ranch grassland & chaparral, frequently used for grazing cattle.
Christmas season may be a bust though - a lot of the Christmas tree farms in the Bay Area are in areas threatened by the CZU fire.
Most of the timber production in California comes from way up north, in the Eureka area and in the Sierra Nevadas. This area is somewhat resistant to fires since it gets so much more moisture and precipitation.
