i would think that any forest fire issues in CA wont be a factor in Los Angeles for quite a while - LA's city areas outside of a few parks isnt exactly a place of lush growth - but I can see fires devastating places like Malibu for instance as happened when I was there in the 90's - so areas like that in the basin may be almost as burned out as the areas hit by the nukes
LA is just too big an area to properly ever say its been picked over totally - which is not to say its going to be easy looting by 2001 - but it wont be a picked clean skeleton either
