Given tightening budgets and the increasing size of WUI/wildland events, many fire departments are simply unable to sufficiently protect their response area from WUI/wildland fire. One solution to this problem is to teach the public how to do its part to prevent WUI/wildland incidents. Jane Jerrard interviews Bob Roper, chair of the IAFC’s Wildland Fire Committee, on a new guide that teaches the public, fire departments and local government how to work together to protect their communities.
