Similar to its western counterpart (2J), this group of counties has experienced a large area burned. These counties include both forested lands and mixed lands, particularly in the Southeast, where conflict arises due to considerable development and population growth over the last few decades, creating more homes in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).
