The capacity of wildland fire science and technology in Canada is not keeping pace with the growing complexity of wildland fire. Fire seasons are becoming longer, fire events are becoming more severe, and experts predict that the area burned on an annual basis could double by…

After a mild wildfire season in 2016-but following back-to-back record seasons the previous two years-Oregon’s luck ran out. Despite fire suppression systems regarded as best-in-class for private and public lands, lightning and human-caused wildfires ravaged the state’s forests…

[From description] Earth is the only planet known to have fire. The reason is both simple and profound: fire exists because Earth is the only planet to possess life as we know it. Fire is an expression of life on Earth and an index of life's history. Few processes are as…
