| Abstract: |
Increasing numbers of wildland-urban interface fires dramatically illustrate the need for understanding and cooperation between the residents who are most impacted by these fires and the organizations responsible for preventing and suppressing them. Thus, this Virtual Symposium is designed to provide information and motivation to a broad range of participants, from homeowner groups and local fire departments, to state organizations and national agencies. The flow of information among all concerned individuals, organizations, departments, and agencies is vital in the fight against "interface" fires -- whether in prevention, mitigation, or suppression. |
