Is This the Real Reason More Homes Are Burning in Wildfires?

The video explores the increasing trend of wildfire-related structure loss, challenging common misconceptions about wildfire origins. Research shows that most fires start on private lands, not public forests. Weather, particularly wind, is a major driver of fire destruction. Urban expansion into wildland areas increases fire risk, and development patterns can influence fire safety. Strategies to prevent home loss include prioritizing infill development and using irrigated land as fire buffers.
