Sammanfattning
Wildfire damage to the built environment and people is typically understood through case studies of high-impact events, or from incident databases where the smallest wildfires are not always accounted for.

There were on average per year 126 wildfires that threatened buildings, 22 that ignited buildings, 17.6 that injured people and 1.1 that led to a fatality.
