Abstract
Wildfires that spread into communities, referred to as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, have destroyed communities throughout the world. The 2007 Southern California Fire forced 300,000 people to evacuate, destroyed over one thousand structures, and resulted in $1B (USD) paid by insurers [1]. In Europe, the 2007 fires in Greece destroyed several hundred structures, and resulted in the deaths of more than 70 people. In Australia, the 2009 fires in Victoria caused the death of 173 people and destroyed more than one thousand structures [2]. WUI fires have also ravaged Chile recently [3].Proceedings Title
