Wildfires have dramatically increased in number, size, and duration over the past several decades. Defined as unplanned and uncontrolled fires, wildfires are spreading to every corner of the globe. From the Siberian taiga forest to the Australian bush, wildfires have affected 17 million people since 2010. Impacting agriculture, transportation, power and gas services, water supply, and the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems, wildfires affect every aspect of life.
