Reacción a "The frequency of certain fires in cities will increase in the coming decades"

The article is interesting because it highlights that climate change can also affect urban fires, in addition to forest fires; the latter being much more studied in relation to the climate. It is a wake-up call for increased policies to prevent or reduce urban fires, given that climate change continues inexorably.

But it can also lead to the confusion that the increase in urban fires only depends on climate change and this is not true. Factors such as changes in the structure of cities, in building materials and in building and safety systems legislation are very important and these have not been taken into account in the study. For example, many cities are growing in size, with houses with gardens that are often flammable and located close to forested areas. All this makes it easier for an ignition to turn into an urban fire.
