During a wildfire, thousands of burning embers can be carried by the wind and land on your home. When embers land on or become lodged in easily ignited materials on or near your house, they ignite those materials. IBHS’s Wildfire Prepared Home seeks to reduce that risk. #wildfire

@ResQBrett @leftyloverbean Wildfire Hazard Zone would be an option - an area where the combination of human development and fuels could result in negative impacts if a wildfire occurs. I've heard people say "well, that's a rural area, they shouldn't have to have defensible space, this is for urban areas"

As Oregon rolls out it's attempt at mapping the WUI it's a good time to give look back at this article on the folly of thinking we can map it in the first place. The WUI isn’t a place at all, it is a set of conditions.
