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.
Routes getting blocked off was a big deal in the Lahnia (Hawaii) fires a few years ago. There was essentially one route out of the area and everyone trying to get out put it basically a a super dangerous stand still when the fire intersect the exit route.
