Today was the last day of the @AZ_Wildfire_ #AZ WUI Summit. While there is a lot of work to be done to make #Arizona #wildfire resilient, we feel certain that we will continue to move in the right direction. Thank you to all that participated at #AZWUIS24 🔥🏘️ See you next year!

[Association for Fire Ecology @fireecology]

#SWFECO24 is a wrap!🌄 It was a great week in Santa Fe at La Fonda, we loved connecting with you all and partnering with @SWFireScience on this event. Thank you for your attendance, and we hope to see you next year in New Orleans⚜️

[AZ Wildfire Initiative @AZ_Wildfire_]

Happening now! Check out the @SWfirescience's Instagram to learn about what's happening at our summit! #Arizona #Tucson #wildfire #WUI #AZWUISummit24 https://t.co/P4JUGLYGMt

[SW Fire Science Consortium @SWfirescience]

What is the WUI and why are we holding a summit on #Arizona's WUI?

The wildland urban interface (WUI) are areas where the wildland (natural areas) are adjacent to urban areas (communities). The WUI is growing exponentially and so is the risk of #wildfire 🌵

[SW Fire Science Consortium @SWfirescience]

Our first #Arizona Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Summit kicks off tomorrow in #Tucson #AZ.

We are looking forward to seeing you and for a great week of talks and discussions!

See you tomorrow! 🔥🌵
