Wildfire - Prescribed Fire Ratio

Ratio of area burned by wildfire and prescribed fire. Areas with lower values have a greater proportion of area burned by prescribed fire than wildfire and areas with higher values have a greater proportion of area burned by wildfire than by prescribed fire.

wildfire-rx fire ratio = log10(area burned in wildfire) - log10(area treated with Rx fire)
