Wildfires, characterized by their unplanned, uncontrolled, and unpredictable nature, stand as formidable challenges to communities and organizations worldwide. According to the Congressional Research Service, a staggering 85% of these events stem from human activities. This alarming statistic underscores the need for heightened awareness and preventive measures.
In addition, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has cited drought and persistent heat as primary contributors to the intensification of wildfires. This heightened flammability, combined with other factors, sets the stage for longer, more active fire seasons.
