Cover Story: This study introduces the Wildland–Urban Interface Boundary-Threat Index (WUI-BTI)—a scenario-based, simulation-driven framework that converts high-resolution fire-spread simulations into an interpretable measure of how ignition locations threaten community boundaries. Rather than estimating ignition probability, WUI-BTI quantifies boundary consequences—how fast and how far a fire can reach a community edge under standardized severe-weather conditions. Applied to Los Angeles’ Palisades Fire Station 69 domain using QUIC-FIRE simulations, the framework identifies “Fire Amplification Sites” that most rapidly endanger the Wildland–Urban Interface, providing actionable intelligence for fuel-treatment prioritization and operational wildfire preparedness. View this paper
