Abstract

Anthropogenic climate change is driving extreme fire seasons, challenging the effectiveness of fire management practices developed over the last 50 years. New and diverse strategies are needed to achieve safe coexistence in an age of megafires. A redefinition of the wildfire management paradigm is central to the shift, placing greater emphasis on the adoption of high-tech solutions for early fire detection and rapid ignition suppression.
