WILDFIRE DANGERS IN HOME IGNITION ZONES
Wildfires are a problem in virtually every part of the US and there are many steps that can be taken to reduce losses. This 4-day seminar will help you to identify hazards and reduce risks in the home ignition zone before a wildfire starts. Wildland fire agencies have largely been unable to reduce wildland/urban interface destruction through traditional fire response procedures. Recent research has led to a greater understanding of how wildland fires ignite homes. By applying new knowledge of how wildland/urban interface fires occur and by using new approaches, future wildland/urban interface fire disasters can be significantly reduced.
