WFLC releases 'True Cost of Wildfires' report
Thursday, April 16, 2009
A new report by the Western Forestry Leadership Coalition reveals that the true costs of wildfire are shown to be far anywhere from 2 to 30 times greater than the supression costs usually reported to the public. The report, The True Cost of Wildfire in the Western U.S., examines the data from six large wildland fires across the west to explore beyond the costs of suppression to give a more accurate telling of the cost to communities and the environment form large wildland fires.
