Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify what constitutes fuel in the WUI, both natural and manmade, and explain WUI fire spread mechanisms.
- Analyze structural ignition pathways and how they contribute to ignition risk and fire spread potential to inform decision making and resource allocation.
- Assess community-level conditions that shape resilience and conflagration potential, including community layout, access and egress, and the surrounding landscape.
- Interpret research and post-fire analyses to demonstrate how structural and community features affect outcomes in WUI incidents.
