The problem
Fire moves fast
One of the oldest challenges in firefighting has not changed: getting enough suppression onto a fire without putting another human life inside the hazard.
- Crews must often reach the fire before the agent does
- Interior and roadside entry carries the highest risk
- Wildland fronts move faster than crews can be placed
The cost of delay
Every second of unsuppressed growth makes the fire harder and more dangerous to fight.
