Requirement
2. The harm wildfire does, with three years of acres burned
Required Often forgotten
Annual acres burned for the past three years, and the damage to forest products, fish and wildlife habitat, soil and water, recreation, homes and communities, and air quality and public health.
Notes and warnings
Note. This one needs figures: the annual acres burned by wildfire in the United States for each of the past three years. National totals are published every year. Look them up before the discussion, not during it.
