Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

  1. Provide more clarity on the specific methodologies used for integrating the social and ecological submodels. This would enhance the transparency of the research and enable other researchers to replicate or build upon the study.

  2. Discuss the limitations and uncertainties of the integrated simulation system. Addressing the potential challenges or assumptions made in the modeling process would strengthen the study's credibility and encourage further research in the field.

  3. Consider expanding the discussion on the broader implications of the findings for wildfire risk management in WUI areas. How can the insights gained from the study inform policy decisions, land-use planning, or community engagement strategies? Providing practical recommendations based on the research would increase the practical value of the study.

Reviewer 2 Report

The work is relevant and interesting, particularly considering the onset of wildfire season in Europe and North America. The manuscript is well-written and easy-to-follow. The authors may consider the following comments to further enhance the readability of their work:

The Conclusions section is too general. I'd like to see more case-specific presented and discussed in the conclusions.

Please consider using "a coupled-systems model"  instead of "a coupled systems model."

Addition of the following studies may increase the readability and relevance of the work:
