Readers of Fire Management Today may recall the wildfires burning in Chile in early 2017. Chile’s catastrophic wildfires resembled last year's extreme fires affecting California, Canada, Portugal, Russia, and South Africa. It is obvious that fire regimes are changing in landscapes around the world-and that the combined effects of climate and land use change are leading factors in the extended duration of fire seasons.
