Calculating minimum safety distance against wildfires at the wildland-urban interface in Chile and Spain
Wildfires in the urban-forest interface constitute a civil protection emergency, causing considerable personal injury and damage to properties. The potential impacts of wildfires on buildings can be minimized by reducing the surrounding fuel and the use of structural materials with low flammability....
