Wildfire is both a creative and destructive force of nature. In many ecosystems, it is a necessary, regenerative process, the effects of which maintain healthy forests, rejuvenate habitats and reduce future fire risk. However, over the last half century, wildfires across western North America have become larger, more frequent, and more severe. And as wildfire activity has increased, so has the number of people living in or at the interface of wildland areas. Consequently, our exposure to both direct and indirect wildfire risks is greater now than at any time in the past century. As our climate continues warming, there is no option for a future without fire, thus the challenge now is to better understand it and learn how to coexist with it.
