As green roofs continue to grow in popularity, their appearance in wildfire-prone areas is likely to occur with increasing frequency. Although there is extensive research on fire in the wildland urban interface (WUI) and structure design to minimize fire risk, there has been very little research into how green roof designs may hold up during a wildfire that is threatening structures. This presentation defines various green roof designs, describes their function and construction, and discusses what particular variables fire management personnel should pay attention to when conducting structure protection operations during a wildfire event. It will also address the critical role that proper maintenance plays in ensuring that green roof designs function to minimize wildfire risks, rather than magnify them.
