Concrete, asphalt, buildings and hard surfaces in cities absorb solar radiation during the day and act like giant radiators, holding on to the heat rather than cooling down at night.

By working with nature, rather than against it, we can build landscapes that are better able to withstand fire, while delivering benefits far beyond wildfire prevention.
