Five Examples of Wildfire Collaboration in Action

As of late November, there have been 60,851 wildfires in the U.S., according to the National Interagency Wildfire Center. In order to detect, predict, and mitigate wildfires, it falls on wildfire authorities at the local, state, and federal levels to coordinate responses and the sharing of information.

In this IDGA report, we will explore five instances where agencies representing different levels of government have joined forces to expand wildfire-fighting capabilities. These examples vary from organizations like the National Interagency Wildfire Center, to crises like the Southern California wildfires at the beginning of the year.

IDGA’s Wildfire Technology Summit gives the firefighting community an opportunity to network and expand relationships with peers. By attending this year’s conference, taking place April 21-22 in San Diego, you’ll connect with industry leaders, wildfire agencies, academia, and representatives from utilities and power companies to collaboratively address and advance solutions for the prediction, prevention, detection, suppression, and mitigation of destructive wildfires.
