The kickoff topic for this Network of Fire Science Champions call will be Ushering in a New Age of Wildland Fuel Science&

Kerry Kemp, Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Idaho, will present her research on the patterns of post-fire regeneration of tree species across gradients in elevation, latitude, aspect, and burn severity in dry-mixed conifer forests of the US Northern Rockies burned 5 to 13 years prior.

REDapp is a universal fire behavior calculator developed with financial support from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC), and in-kind support from fire management agencies across Canada.

Wildland Fire Chemicals can be extremely effective firefighting tools which may increase the efficiency, effectiveness and safety of firefighting operations on the ground. Fire management agencies use several types of wildland fire fighting chemicals. The specific requirements, uses, and tactics for each type depend on the characteristics of the type of product.

Join us for the second in our WUI Webinar series "Landscaping and home design for fire defense." We'll be hearing from Yana Valachovic, UC Cooperative Extension.
