Excerpt

Wildfires that spread into communities, commonly referred to as WUI fires, are a significant problem in Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, and the United States. WUI fire spread is extraordinarily challenging and presents an emerging problem in fire safety science. While it is accepted that WUI fires are an important societal problem, little understanding exists on how to contain and mitigate the hazard associated with such fires. The recent WUI fire in Fort McMurray, Canada in 2016 captured the world’s attention to the devastation WUI fires may bring to communities. …
