Скачать или смотреть Why fire "season" doesn't end

Thanks to our sponsor, T-Mobile: http://t-mobile.com/FirstResponders. T-Priority - a 5G network experience made for first responders.

A third of the US population lives in wildfire risk zones. And the fire season is only growing.

Why is that?

Climate change and the increase of the wildland urban interface (WUI) are two key components. Wildfires are now happening year round, and they’re taking a toll on the wildland fighters, especially in rural America. In this video, we look at how these first responders are being affected by this wildfire evolution and what communities that live in close proximity to wildfire zones can do to better protect themselves.

Our sponsor has no editorial influence over how we report our stories, but their support makes videos like these possible.
