In the news Modeling fires at the wildland-urban interface The summer of 2007 has seen a large number of forest fires in the United States and Europe. These fires arose in or spread to human habitats at the so-called wildland-urban interface. A simple fire-spread model, along with housing and vegetation data, shows that fire-size probability distributions can be strongly modified by the density and flammability of houses.
