All it Takes is One Spark: How NHCFR protects us from wildfires

Wildland fires are the most common type of fire that the North Hays County Fire Rescue responds to each year. If you recall the first installment of our “All It Takes Is One Spark” series, we took a look at what wildland urban interface (WUI) is and why it’s significant in understanding wildfires and how to reduce the risk. NHCFR Chief Scott Collard reiterates the importance. “The area where developed residential and commercial communities interact with undeveloped natural cover such as brush and cedar trees is known as the wildland urban interface or WUI,” Collard said. “As more homes and businesses are built among the natural cover, the fire danger is real. This is especially true when there is no defensible space created around homes and other buildings.”
