Agree with that, but must be noted that Eucalyptus has 700 species and not all make fireforests (I like that definition and we don't have any for that so I'll coined it).

Is a monoculture. They don't care. Is hard to claim ignorance still in the age of Google.
A country where Eucalypts are completely dominant is Australia. In the US California is full of them. Both Australia and California have uncontrollable fire problems.
There are plantations of eucalyptus trees in Brazil, either they don't know what introducing them will do to their country or they just don't care.
Before using eucalypts, consider what introducing a very invasive tree that transforms the countryside into something much more flammable than it originally was will do.
