Wildland Fires
17% of fire polygons from 1980-2014 are
“wildland-urban interface fires”
but 6% for lightning-caused fires
and 39% for human-caused fires

Applications of the Interface MapsThe three maps of interface areas (urban, industrial,
and/or infrastructure) will be freely available.
Can easily be combined with other spatial data.
Can be used in multiple applications:
• FireSmart• Fuel treatments• Building codes• Municipal bylaws• Industrial fire regulations• Infrastructure fire mitigation
• Resource prepositioning • Fire prioritization• Interface fire alerts• Values protection• Incorporate into risk models
• City planning• Evacuation planning• Insurance• Fire management budgeting, purchases• Railway policy/planning• Powerline safety
