FIRE-RES

Let’s talk about FIRE-RESults 💡In Catalonia, restoration actions combined with silvo-pastoralism practices are the key to building more resilient landscapes! 🌱  Discover how this #InnovationAction, led by Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya, is testing Aleppo Pines in a previously burned forest, while preparing another pilot landscape to face the challenges of future possible extreme events. Meet our #InnovationActions! In this series, we asked our FIRE-RES community of experts, scientists, and researchers to put a face on it and explain their work 📖 in a way that resonates with both specialists and broader audiences 🔗 https://lnkd.in/grwWqGJp

What's up in the Living Labs? Last week was intense for the Forest Fire Prevention and Defence Service of Xunta de Galicia! On Tuesday, the team led a workshop with the community of Trelle to illustrate the risks of extreme forest fires. The day after, they moved from theory to action and the village became the theatre of a successful extreme wildfire drill with the following maneuvers: ➡️ Rescue in the forest fire of a trapped operative, with water line and double effect nozzle 🏡 Protection of a building with retardant and helicopter discharges. 🧯 Containment of the left flank with water line and tactical fire. Trelle is a safe model village: if you want to discover more about this innovative way to build fire-resilient communities, check this article🔗 https://lnkd.in/exzYbJ7p

Let’s talk about FIRE-RESults 💡 As part of an #InnovationAction, FIRE-RES partner Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) has teamed up with the Bombers of Generalitat de Catalunya to investigate the dangers posed by wildfire pollutants, specifically black carbon and PM 2.5, to firefighters in Catalonia🧯 Covering data from 2022-2024, the study highlights important findings about exposure concentrations during different fire management tasks 👩🚒 For instance, prescribed burns are a safe practice to lower the risk of wildfires...but when it comes to health hazards, they expose firefighters to the same risk as actual wildfires.

FIRE-RES goes to....Oslo, Norway! 🚀 We’re thrilled to share that two of our OIC winners, Trigan and ADA Wildfires Ola Glærum Kleppe, have exhibited this week at Direktoratet for samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap (DSB) Fire and Rescue Service Conference 2025! That's a successful example of the real-world impact of our OIC #InnovationAcceleration Programme, supporting ambitious innovators in making a difference in the fire and rescue industry 🚒 🔷 ADA Wildfires is leading live demonstrations of their platform with realistic scenarios and showcasing new prototypes in development. This conference was the perfect test opportunity to collect deeper insights into stakeholder needs 💡 Trigan is now tailoring their solution for the Norwegian context and conducted demos at DSB’s exhibition stand while planning future tests for regional fire service centers 👏 ...Stay tuned for the next steps!

Food for thought 💭 Fire Wine is our viticulture-oriented #InnovationAction by Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya: it aims to create a brand reclaiming the role of vineyards in preventing wildfires. That's the case of the D.O. Pla de Bages, part of Fire Wine network, which gathers 17 wineries keeping these agricultural spaces alive. This article by Coline Pacton (Università degli Studi di Genova) shares some insights from field research on the case of the Bages comarca 🍇 Who are the stakeholders? What are the difficulties that often lead to land abandonment, and why are these scattered vineyards crucial for more resilient landscapes?

Let’s talk about FIRE-RESults 💡 "What is a clinic? A clinic is a place where you fix things..." 🛠️ Many different policy instruments are impacting the management of wildfire risk, and sometimes this multitude can show inconsistencies. 👉 This Innovation Action, led by European Forest Institute, wants to turn the challenge into an opportunity for stakeholders to understand what's not working efficiently and propose solutions that match the needs of resilient landscapes and communities. Meet our #InnovationActions! In this series, we asked our FIRE-RES community of experts, scientists, and researchers to put a face on it and explain their work 📖 in a way that resonates with both specialists and broader audiences 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g7PzgXEw
