- 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.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Calkin et al. show suppression reducing everyday fire while fuel loads rise and a single extreme fire exposes many ignition-susceptible homes; they do not discuss subdivision growth.
“Fires burning during moderate weather conditions have largely ceased, causing a dramatic reduction in present day annual area burned”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
