Study finds humans are behind costly, increasing risk of wildfire to millions of homes.
"Humans caused 97% of all wildfires in the wildland-urban interface, 85% of all wildfires in "very-low-density housing" areas, and 59% of all wildfires in wildlands between 1992 and 2015."

@corlin Yeah, I can get the current numbers, I'm sure. Thanks again.
@corlin I was wondering about this the other day. Thanks for posting, Corlin!
