Sure. Maybe I'll start and then turn to Dr. Thompson.
The fire started roughly 20 kilometres from the community, so fuel treatments were done over time that did reduce the intensity of the fire as it approached the town. Those risks were known, as folks have discussed, and a great deal of fuel management was done in those areas.
Our field observations immediately after the fire—and Dr. Thompson can speak to that in more detail—showed that the fuel reduction treatments were effective in preventing a continuous running crown fire. There are different types of wildland fire. Some travel sort of lower to the ground, and some travel among the crowns of the trees. Those that travel among the crowns of the trees are the ones that are particularly intense and throw embers and create those kinds of risks. What the team found was that the fuel treatments that were done did have the effect of reducing that intensity and reducing the crown fire risk.
Maybe I'll turn to Dr. Thompson to add to that.
