The model simulations showed an increase in fire risk in the future despite the overall lack of change in annual precipitation for the next 50 years. (pnnl.gov)
In addition logging increases fire risk by opening up the forest, increasing the amount of fuel on its floor, and drying the forest out. (cedamia.org)
It means that many potential weaknesses and gaps in passive fire protection will not be spotted even during a routine fire risk assessment. (educationbusinessuk.net)
