<p>Learn all about collaborative research burns with James Furman, a Fire Management Specialist with the USDA Forest Service. James currently serves as Wildland Fire Subject Matter Expert for DoD’s environmental research programs and leads an Integrated Research Management Team (IRMT) to facilitate DoD-funded collaborative prescribed fire research campaigns. In this episode we discuss best practices for co-production of wildland fire science and the collaborative research burns hosted by the IRMT, as well as their benefits and how to prepare for and overcome potential challenges. </p> <p>Data collected from IRMT-hosted research burns has contributed to tools such as QUIC-Fire, BurnPro3D, and FastFuels. Learn more about these tools, how they are developed and tested, and how they can be used to improve fire management practices from the Next Generation Wildland Fire Planning Tools Workshop: <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg38mXDqkgvOsRqH37uLiH-dOgxmZBwgv&si=ilgk9H_fYeA7zg8v" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg38mXDqkgvOsRqH37uLiH-dOgxmZBwgv&si=ilgk9H_fYeA7zg8v</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p>The recorded presentations are available on our Southern Fire Exchange YouTube channel and include:</p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/KChKHZzmHAA?si=C-w2ulJsg-DjuY4B" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Wildland Fire Modeling Opportunities and Challenges - Rod Linn</a></p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/grBf7db1p98?si=Dyg1Aci3KNrRvoeY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Terrestrial LIDAR Scanning: QUIC-Fire Modeling of New Jersey Wildfire - Nick Skowronski</a></p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/JEzl5Q425n4?si=ozfdCqe4DmbfbH0O" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">FastFuels: 3D Modeling for Next-Generation Fire Management - Russell Parsons</a></p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/gfhYVC_oE_I?si=pjKtBevV3vIcXT16" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Using QUIC-Fire to Predict Fire Effects - Joe O-Brien</a></p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/Vg8X-7jvF6U?si=6kgScymt2nkwcEQO" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">WiFIRE Commons and BurnPro3D - Ilkay Altintas</a></p> <p>o <a href="https://youtu.be/nmicOMXGEVg?si=m9zFeCj402B_nfZd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">BurnPro 3D Demonstration - Kevin Hiers</a></p> <p><br></p>

<p>As fire managers, we have a duty to consider everyone who is going to be impacted by our actions, whether it be the neighbors adjacent to your burn or a town three counties away where the smoke is settling down. In this episode of <em>Friends of Fire</em>, Ludie Bond, Public Information Officer (PIO) / Wildfire Mitigation Specialist with the Florida Forest Service, imparts that <em>“You may not be a communications professional, but you are a fire professional, you are a prescribed burn professional, and as such, communications is key to being able to have that successful prescribed burn program.” </em>As a trusted messenger to many communities through building relationships and adaptive messaging, Ludie describes key factors to a successful communications plan that benefits the community, your work, and ecosystem restoration as a whole.</p> <p>Successful Communication Plan:</p> <p>1. Identify your audience[s]<br> 2. Build a relationship with your audience<br> 3. Learn about what kind of information your audience needs / is interested in<br> 4. Determine where your audience gets their information<br> 5. Identify their trusted messengers<br> 6. Act as the trusted messenger or work with your audience’s trusted messenger to disseminate information to the community<br> 7. Use the communication methods that your audience prefers to share the information that they should and/or want to know<br> 8. Be transparent, honest, patient, and understanding<br> 9. Establish a year-round communications plan in preparation for, during, and after fire operations</p>
