    Advances in Fire Practice Highlights
     

    The Emergence and Potential of New Wildfire Risk Assessment Tools
    By Josh McDaniel
    How do we measure the effects of fuel treatments on a potential fire? How do we treat fuels to reduce risk, while adhering to varying and often conflicting management restrictions? Until recently the tools just didn’t exist to answer these types of questions.
     The Economics of Wildland Fire Risk Management
    By Dave Calkin and Krista Gebert
    New risk management tools are changing approaches to fire management and economists are playing a key role.
    Black Saturday Bushfires
    The Black Saturday bushfires ignited across the Australian state of Victoria on and around Saturday, February 7th 2009 during extreme bushfire-weather conditions, resulting in Australia's highest ever loss of life from a bushfire. 173 people died as a result of the fires, 414 were injured, and over 1600 residences were burned. This video looks at the conditions that led to Black Saturday, as well as the issues the fires have raised for the Australian bushfire Community.

    Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center
     
    This online community center is here to assist wildland fire work groups to identify one another, share learning opportunities, discuss issues and concerns, and exchange knowledge. Some are formal teams, but many are actually "communities of practice." 
     
    Every group has the ability to have their own place in the larger community, an online work space called  a "neighborhood." These can be set up to be public or private. "Partially Public" have the qualities of both! Look at the list of current neighborhoods. Consider setting up your own for your group.
