| Abstract: |
Fire managers across the nation are confronting the rapidly developing problem of people moving into wildland areas, increasing what has been termed the wildland-urban interface. To manage more effectively and plan for this situation, fire managers should analyze the problem as three types of interface areas, each with its own unique set of demographic factors, local land use, and fire protection problems. |
