Increasing extreme fire behavior and societal impacts are associated with a warmer and drier climate, lack of fire and a culture of fire suppression in fire-prone regions (REF), and rapid development in flammable landscapes. \n",
+    "Wildfire impacts to communities are on the rise across much of the world and especially in western North America. Increasing extreme fire behavior and societal impacts are associated with a warmer and drier climate which is drying out fuels (1), lack of fire and a culture of fire suppression in fire-prone regions (2), and rapid development in flammable landscapes (3). \n",

     "The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), where homes and building intermix with wildland fuels, is the fastest growing land use type in the US leading to increasing wildfire-related impacts. While many regions of the western US are at high risk, the Colorado Front Range is particularly vulnerable/susceptible given the rapidly growing population and impacts from changing climatic patterns leading to more extreme fire behavior. \n",

-    "The 2020 fire season was record-setting in terms of area burned globally (REF). In CO it produced three of the state's top five largest wildfires. In particular, the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires both resulted in extreme fire behavior and hundreds of destroyed structures on the Front Range.\n",

     "Satellite earth observation (EO) has contributed to major advances in understanding fire risk and impacts in recent decades. Characterization of vegetative fuel using multispectral and radar imagery has changed the way we model fire behavior. Active mapping of wildfire hotspots and daily growth has improved firefighter safety and led to a better understanding of the mechanisims which drive fire growth. Future advances in tracking fuel conditions in near-real-time will improve our ability to understand and map fire risk for communities and fire management personnel.\n",
