Northern Rockies Fire Science Network talked with members of two SAFE organizations to get their perspectives on the benefits and potential of student fire associations in the region.
The Eastern Fire Network (EFNet) is a collaborative research and training network to advance understanding of wildfire dynamics and risk in eastern U.S. landscapes, helping to inform fire management and decision-making. As part of a structured program in transdisciplinary science, students will work in interdisciplinary teams and practitioners to co-design solutions to local wildland fire science challenges, linking research to implementation.
Course instructor Brad Washa and Summit County Lands and Natural Resources Director Jessica Kirby discuss the importance of on-the-ground experience for students and the benefits of agency collaboration.
