- Exposure Creep
- In the wildland–urban interface, decades of fire suppression reduce visible fire frequency while subdivisions push deeper into fuel-loaded forest, so one ignition exposes thousands of homes.
This sourceShows fire suppression and WUI expansion accumulate fuel and homes so a single ignition exposes a far larger stake; reframes the disaster as a home-ignition problem rather than a wildfire-control problem.
