Wildfires are not usually that bad thing, as the forest doesn't usually die. In generally, there has to fires to some extent as many species rely on it.

Bark beetle problem can be reduced by not having planted or otherwise modified single tree specie homogeneous forests. Forests having dirrerent trees slow down the spreading and populations, and areas with different trees act like a firewalls.
