Researchers have found that wildfires in the contiguous United States are not only increasing in frequency but are also growing at an alarming rate. Between 2001 and 2020, an analysis of 60,000 fires showed that these fires are expanding 30% faster each year. This rapid growth rate has led to larger and more destructive fires. The study utilized satellite data to track the progression of these fires, highlighting a significant trend in fire behavior over the past two decades. This acceleration in fire growth poses new challenges for fire management and emergency response strategies.
