Some ideas, probably not the best firewood, but it does burn and the trees
grow fast:

Fast growing: Chinese elm if it will survive the beetles (there are some
beetle-resistant trees out there). Quality of firewood is in the eye of the
beholder -- seems to burn reasonably well.

Cottonwood: grows fast, burns pretty fast, doesn't split, so much as
"slabs off" when breaking down larger trunks.
