The most helpful data for scientists who measure the risks associated with wildfires would be **drought conditions in an area**. Drought can significantly increase the likelihood and severity of wildfires by reducing moisture in vegetation, making it more susceptible to ignition. While the other factors are important in assessing wildfire risks, drought conditions are a critical indicator of fire potential.
