Abstract
This research project explores and analyzes wildfire scenarios where fuel treatments have been encroached and will document the wildfire/fuel treatment encounter as a case study. Case studies will evaluate how the fuel treatments modified fire behaviour and/or influenced response tactics. These case studies can be used to help inform future fuel treatment prescriptions to enhance community resilience and protect values.
