The wildland urban interface (WUI) is a transition zone between mostly undeveloped, vegetated lands and more densely populated areas with buildings and other infrastructure. This interface is of great interest and concern in wildfire prone areas like California, as significant increases in scale, frequency and intensity of fires have resulted in devastating impacts to life-safety, property and other high value assets.
