Fire Behaviour, Growth, and Decision-Making Workshop Report

In November 2023, the CIFFC Research and Innovation Integration Committee organized a three-day hybrid Fire Behaviour, Growth, and Decision-Making Workshop in Whitehorse, Yukon. The workshop aimed to address the issues encountered during the intense 2023 fire season by fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among various stakeholders, including fire management agencies, First Nations representatives, researchers, and consultants. The primary goal was to share insights on observed fire behaviour, fire growth models, and decision-making processes to collectively understand challenges and work towards effective solutions.

The attached report summarizes the key discussions and insights from the workshop, providing valuable information for the wildfire management community.
