Wildland fire risks are not equitably distributed as they intersect with exposure and socioeconomic attributes  to influence vulnerability and adaptive capacity  . Individuals in rural areas, low-income neighbourhoods and immigrant communities, as well as renters in California, had less capacity to prepare for and recover from fire . In the USA, 29 million people live in areas with significant potential for wildfires and 12 million are socially vulnerable . In Canada, there are 117 million ha  of wildland- human interface, and 96% of populated places have some wildland-urban interface within 5 km .
