External human factors in incident management team decisionmaking and their effect on large fire suppression expenditures

2008-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Large wildland fires are complex, costly events influenced by a vast array of physical, climatic, and social factors. Changing climate, fuel buildup due to past suppression, and increasing populations in the wildland-urban interface have all been blamed for the extreme fire seasons and rising suppression expenditures of recent years.
