wildfires: risk and hazard

Analysis of the threat, hazard, and risk relative to wildfire is a spatial problem: Where does a wildfire occur relative to resources valued by humans? In the natural or built environment? Wildfires burn uncultivated vegetation in natural environments, whether mountainous forests, rural woodlands, brush lands, or prairie grasslands. In common usage, the terms threat, hazard, and risk are often interchanged and confound understanding of the important distinctions between them.
