In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Yana Valachovic and Eric Knapp about results from their study that assessed housing arrangement and vegetation-related factors associated with home loss in the 2018 Camp Fire and to determine whether California’s 2008 adoption of exterior building codes improved survival.
