🔥 Why doesn't Canada put out every wildfire? Sometimes monitoring beats fighting — fire is part of the boreal ecosystem. GWC Charter Member @mikeflannigan.bsky.social weighs in. #wildfire www.cleveland.com/metro/2026/0...

Where is wildfire risk highest & what actions should be prioritized? Case Study #1 of the Fire Modelling Literacy Program (Sept. 1-2) uses San Diego Zoo Safari Park & Biodiversity Reserve as a real-world example of how to use ignition, fire spread & large fire models. 🔥 bit.ly/4wNbUQ2

⚠️ Evacuation alerts tell people to leave. They rarely tell them where to go. @cr2uchile.bsky.social new Policy Brief proposes shorter alerts, redundant channels, and evacuation triggers drawn from fire spread and traffic models. bit.ly/45yYrjX #wildfire #WUI #evacuation #firescience #Chile

The Trump administration is repealing the roadless rule, opening ~45M acres of national forest wilderness to roads and logging. Nearly 85% of wildfires start with human activity. Ecologist @dramalamujer.bsky.social warns new roads could spark fires where risk is now low. LINK TO ARTICLE IN COMMENTS

Europe's wildfires aren't just about climate change. RISE fire expert Johan Sjöström explains how land abandonment & afforestation are fueling faster, more intense fires. Add in winter rains and rapid vegetation growth & get a "perfect cocktail" for fire. www.upday.com/uk/why-europ... #wildfire

NEW PUBLICATION: A review of 1,585 articles found just 6 empirically assessed fuel break effectiveness at the regime scale. Fuel breaks can aid suppression, but performance drops sharply in extreme weather. More research is needed. 🔥 globalwildfirecollective.org/fuel-breaks-...

Impressive to see the long-distance "dispersal" of fire! “We tend to think of lightning as something that starts wildfires, but the relationship can run both ways,” Dr Bojan Bojkov @eumetsat.int www.eumetsat.int/features/fir... 🔥🌳🔥🍁 wildfires

Wildfire smoke can trigger storms. 🌩️ On 17 August 2025, thunderstorms formed across Spain far from active fires. Data from Meteosat-12 showed drifting smoke meeting humid air, helping clouds grow, and lightning develop. Find out how this unfolded in our latest article: bit.ly/4hRrrKX
