'We must act quickly or else we are lost': after fires, what to do with burnt wood?

After devastating forest fires in the Gironde department of France, which have destroyed over 40,000 hectares of forest, millions of tons of charred wood now accumulate along the edges of the forests. The article discusses the challenge faced by forest managers and the timber industry in dealing with this burnt wood. While some of the wood remains usable, albeit of lower quality, there is concern about potential oversupply in the industry. Experts note that the usability of the wood depends on the speed and intensity of the fire, but experience from previous incidents suggests much of it can still be utilized.
