There's a nifty disclaimer in the main text: "The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the USFS."
In any case, here are few of the more interesting citations from the full text.
"Globally, wildfire size, severity, and frequency have been increasing, as have related fatalities and taxpayer-funded firefighting costs" CITATION: http://nature.berkeley.edu/stephenslab/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/stephens-et-al-boreal-mega-fires.pdf http://nature.berkeley.edu/stephenslab/wp-content/uploads/20...
"But the 2% of wildfires that escape containment often burn under extreme weather conditions in fuel-loaded forests and account for 97% of fire-fighting costs and total area burned" CITATION: http://www.wildfire-economics.org/Library/Calkin_et_al_2005.pdf http://www.wildfire-economics.org/Library/Calkin_et_al_2005....
