Upcoming Events

As wildfires ravage communities across the globe with increasing frequency and intensity, the need for innovative solutions to mitigate their devastating impacts has never been more urgent. Enter WiReS '26, a premier event that brings together the brightest minds in fire resilience, social science, policy, and industry to drive transformative change.

Applications accepted through July 13.

Since 1990, every 4 years, the International Conference on Forest Fire Research has gathered in Central Portugal the majority of the World Fire Research Community.

This event aims to bring together practitioners, researchers, community members, Tribes, agencies, NGOs, PBAs, and others to celebrate recent progress, share insights and ideas, and advance our collective work in beneficial fire. The program will focus on all three components of beneficial fire—prescribed fire, cultural fire, and managed wildfire—in California and across the West.
