We have to live with wildland fire; we do not have to live with fire in our communities. This is an important distinction because wildfire—fire in the wildland—is ecologically appropriate and inevitable. Many of us choose to live in the Pacific Northwest because of the opportunities for outdoor recreation, but with the increasing wildfire concerns in this region, how do we continue to work, play, and co-exist safely with the natural environment?

Join us for this presentation as we explore how embracing the Fire Adapted Community model can help us reframe the problem of communities threatened by wildfire. Our population is growing, and most wildfires are human-caused. Many of our communities were developed in a time, climate, and environment that no longer exists or is rapidly changing. We have the tools and knowledge to reduce community wildfire risks, but we must take a close look at our own actions, choices, and expectations regarding what it means to live with wildfire.
