Watch the full recording of the 3rd NERO Network Café, held on 24 September 2024. This session examined the scientific underpinnings of extreme fire behaviour and explored the practical needs of fire managers operating in high-intensity wildfire scenarios.


🧭 Overview

This webinar addressed the dynamic interface between wildfire science and operational response, focusing on how extreme fire behaviour challenges conventional tactics. Speakers discussed how meteorological and environmental drivers of fire intensity can be translated into actionable guidance, and what fire management agencies need to anticipate and respond effectively to fast-evolving, high-impact wildfires.
