Embers Foundation

The Embers Foundation's mission is to build wild resilience in first responders, communities, and surrounding habitats.

[Embers Foundation @EmbersFound]

After our brush with catastrophe during the 2017 Thomas Fire, we established The Embers Foundation with heartfelt gratitude for first responders. Check out this video of the origin story of @FlyingEmbers, who supports our mission with 1% of gross revenues! https://t.co/dBJ6lagbUh

@YankeesNerds It's clear at this point that the issue is Hal Steinbrenner and his Front Office execs making the decision to keep Cashman and Boone

Another excellent tutorial by Zeke on the paradoxes and problematics of suppression firing operations. The best way to expand windows for controlled burning is to light them before a wildfire ignition, using the best science for anticipating where those might occur.

Amazing and informative story - now we just need insurance companies and governments to incentivize home #Wildfire #resilience retrofits like they do for earthquake retrofits and other safety+conservation measures in home #energy and building...

[Michael Wara @MichaelWWara]

An excellent visual example of why a good roof, covered vents plus ***a well prepared ember ignition zone*** can dramatically increase the odds of structure survival in a catastrophic wildfire.

Side by side comparison of treatment effects. The left image is an untreated stand with very high mortality and burn severity. On the right is a previously rx burned stand (5 years ago) on the same wildfire - the two stands burned on the same day about 200 m apart.

As the #MauiFires disaster continues to unfold, one of many things on my mind is the impact of debris flow and toxins into local ecosystems incl. coral reef system feedbacks. Foundational to Kanaka Maoli worldview and the big picture. #climateresilience #ecoculturalresilience.

**Important** A common error in #forest #carbon accounting: rate vs. volume. Young forests soak up C fast, relative to their small size. Older forests continue to soak up C indefinitely at a "slower" rate but higher volume. Meaning more C. Big trees=big C

[Global Empowerment Mission @GEMmissions]

GEM USA West teams have been deployed and will be on the ground in Hawaii tomorrow morning to provide immediate support. Including distributing of @Bethenny #bstrong Cash Cards, aide to local shelters, and providing solutions for short term housing for those dislocated and affected by the fires.
These unprecedented wildfires have engulfed Hawaii and are being fueled from powerful winds from the Pacific Coast Category 4 Hurricane Dora.

Our hearts go out to the people of #Lahaina, Maui - as does our financial support through a $5,000 donation to our Respond Program disaster relief partner, @GEMmissions. Click here for ways YOU can help people affected by the Maui #wildfires: https://t.co/aLuYGgx6sO

[Embers Foundation @EmbersFound]

Our hearts go out to the people and non-human inhabitants of Lahaina and Maui

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

New video from Front Street shows virtually all of downtown Lahaina has been burned down.

[Ryan Cowper Stephens - The Lookout @Lookout_Ryan]

The Lookout's @wildland_zko tells it like it is. We must start working with fires instead of against them.

[Wade Crowfoot @WadeCrowfoot]

If you watch nothing else about wildfire this summer, spend the 5 mins watching this video.👀👇🏼 This paradigm shift, based on indigenous practices, is spreading across CA and cause for hope as we navigate an era of climate-driven #megafires.🔥

[Wade Crowfoot @WadeCrowfoot]

Huge step forward🥾 to support tribal leadership across California to achieve #30x30CA and more. First-of-its kind funding will support ancestral land return, tribally led conservation projects and much more.👇🏼

[Zeke Lunder ~ The Lookout @wildland_zko]

Want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of wildfire and wildland firefighting? You're in luck. We just published a great article 'Wildfire 101' on The Lookout written by veteran wildland firefighter Brè Orcasitas.

Good read by Bre Orcasitas on challenges faced by wildland firefighters, and why many of them are leaving the Federal land management agencies. https://t.co/xzhZ0SnYvd

[FUSEE 🔥 @fuseefire]

Stephen Pyne says it best: we suffer from a maldistribution of fire--too much fire in the wrong times, places, and conditions, and not enough fire during the right times, places, and conditions.

[Embers Foundation @EmbersFound]

"It's now...clear that both here in the West and across the country, we need to do more to help people live with #wildfire #smoke, whether it’s low-level smoke from the increased use of #GoodFire or lethal levels from catastrophic fire." via @ResourcesLF https://t.co/EIBuq55c10

[Embers Foundation @EmbersFound]

A positive and growing trend in use of #GoodFire…

In-season burning at Audubon Canyon!
Cheers to the folks who have come to understand the liability of prescribed burning is a fraction the cost of doing nothing.
