Why is it justifiable of using public resources for fire management (e.g., fuel treatment
and suppression) instead of solely relying on the market mechanism from the

, From an economic point of view, it is justifiable to use public resources for
fire management due to the nature of fire management services as a public
good and the presence of positive externalities. For example, when a
community in a wildfire-prone area receives fuel treatment, neighboring
communities also benefit from the reduced fire risk, even if they did not pay
for it. These services are also non-rivalrous, meaning that one community's
use of the benefits from fire management does not reduce the availability
of those benefits to others. Because of these characteristics, individuals or
interest groups would have the incentive of becoming "free riders",
therefore the private market is unlikely to provide sufficient levels of fire
management services.
