Law Combatting Wildfires

An interview with Prof. Stephen R. Miller

The western United States is now experiencing four times more wildfires than ever before. In recent years, wildfires have become larger and more frequent, threatening lives and devastating local communities. A century of wildland fire management policy, climate change, and land development patterns in the West have created a perfect storm of a wildfire crisis. Professor Stephen R. Miller examines the factors proliferating wildfires and complicating effective wildland fire management, including the regulatory structure and the patchwork of federal, state, local, and tribal agencies responsible for fire planning and response.
