Such exciting work in wildfire science in Canada. Great to see applied science happening in real time! KT! Agency engagement, mentorship, curiosity, emerging leaders. All this happens when there are more voices at the table. People, relationships, trust, respect, sharing. Boundary spanners are important, there has been great work defining the role of boundary spanners in the West too. So excited to see where this work can go. What is next for the integrated fire management pathway?
This August, the Ontario fire management program led a field-based study on airtanker drop effectiveness in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada and Canadian Forest Service. We want to know how Ontario should use its aerial suppression resources to effectively and efficiently fight wildfires – now and into the future. We monitored airtanker drops on an active spreading wildfire in the boreal forest using airborne remote sensing and a team of specialised fire behaviour observers. The data collection campaign is designed to directly measure the impact of water drops from the CL-415 airtanker on critical fire behaviour attributes that matter to fire management agencies when making tactical decisions in the field – how effectively the suppression knocks down flames, prevents fire growth, and holds the fireline. 🔥 🌲 https://lnkd.in/gbcK6Kfb Jason Robinson Gabriela Ifimov Mark de Jong Mike Wotton
