Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.
