Humans emphasized in wildfire report

People put themselves in danger in the WUI (Wildland Urban Insterface)! Basically, the researchers spent lots of money making a computer model that- surprise, surprise- shows that when people build things in areas prone to fire, they lose out. Sarcasm aside, one of the important findings is that wildifres tend to increase when humans build in the WUI due to cigarettes and other risky, fire-causing human behavior.
