The process of cutting down trees, or clearing brush during forest firefighting activities is referred to as "cutting a fireline". Once the direction and speed of the fire is determined, fire crews may choose to cut a fireline ahead of the fire, effectively removing the fuel(wood/brush), in an attempt to stop or slow the spread of fire.
There are 3 main ways in which forest fires spread. The first is from burning material on the ground, where fire travels across small plants, dead leaves, brush, etc, along the ground, until it reaches the next tree, and so on.
The second is by sparks and flaming material carried by the wind into adjacent trees.
The third is called 'canopy spread', where fire spreads from the canopy of one tree to another. This is often the most fast-spreading method of fire spread, as winds have the most effect near the top of the fire.
Cutting a fireline creates a bare space where there isn't really much to burn, and therefore, the fire stops spreading.

Is there a greater risk of forest fire if the beetles damage the trees?
Yes, there is a greater risk of forest fire if beetles damage trees. When beetles infest and kill trees, the dead trees become fuel for fires, increasing the overall fire risk in the forest. Additionally, the accumulated dead organic matter from infested trees can make fires burn at a higher intensity.
A forest fire burns down most of the trees in the large forest The animals that live in the trees are forced to move to other areas what kind of disturbance is this?
This is an example of a natural disturbance known as a forest fire. Forest fires can have both short-term and long-term impacts on the ecosystem, affecting the vegetation, wildlife, and overall biodiversity of the area.
If you were in a forest and there were only trees and rocks what can you do?
