Alaska Fire Science Consortium just posted videos of some keynote presentations of fire management topics from the April 2015 Fire Science Workshop and Fire Management Officer’s meeting.  Devon Barnes, University of Alberta, discusses sprinkler array effectiveness and some deployment pointers; Robert Ziel, Alaska DOF Fire Behavior Specialist, discusses assessing community wildfire risk using landscape models, and Rick Stratton, USFS Long Term Fire Analyst, explains the modeling tools used during fires to help make critical decisions.  Find them on AFSC’s website
