Abstract: | The wildland-urban interface (W-UI), also called the wildland-urban intermix and the I-zone, is the space where wildfires can potentially ignite homes. This issue of Zoning News will examine the reality of the wildland fire threat and determine how development codes can be used to save residential areas, which often suffer great losses. |
