The sad wildfires in spain made me wonder this, especially as climate change means there’ll be more fires. I know groups like disabled people and their families are slower to get out, causing risk. But is it more that the fire is too fast, or that some people just don’t leave fast enough?
Just wondering what could be done to reduce deaths.
Depends on the situation. Wildfires can sweep through a place so fast, and that combined with smoke, heat, disorientation etc, makes for a deadly combo already. Firefighters must be some of the bravest people willingly wanting to fight that
