Scott Humphrey and Sam O'Krent Discuss Two Key WFCA Initiatives as Sam Starts as Chairman by Floor Focus Magazine

An article recently featured in the Daily Dispatch highlights the utilization of drones, satellites, and artificial intelligence (AI) in combatting wildfires by predicting fire behavior. AI shows promise as a valuable tool for assisting first responders in comprehending the progression of active blazes. However, predicting fire behavior still has a long way to go. The 2020 California wildfires illustrate how past fire behavior may not provide an accurate basis for predicting fire development, primarily due to the altered conditions caused by climate change.   One equation, which is intended to help fire bosses understand fire behavior, is the FARSITE system. However, its creator, Mark Finney, said the equation “has an awful lot of assumptions in it. We're getting there. Nature is a lot more complicated. There are still a number of mysteries on fire behavior, and we don't have a roadmap to follow that tells us whether or not this is good enough for on the ground use.” Chiefs Bob Horton and Jeff Buchanan spoke with Dr. Kate Kapalo, the Senior Research Scientist and Assistant Director of WFCA's Applied Sciences Center, about when this technology should come into play.

On August 8, 2023, four wildfires broke out on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Erratic winds and challenging terrain made this fire impossible for firefighters to gain control. At the time of this recording, August 21, 2023, three of the four wildfires are still burning, fatalities have reached 114, and over 800 people are still missing. Reduced to ashes, the historic town of Lahaina now faces a challenging journey towards recovery. In this week's episode, Chief Bob Horton assumes the role of host, while our panelist Chief Jeff Buchanan welcomes three special guests to share their professional insight and expertise on the subject of catastrophic wildfires: Chief Jeff Murray: Retired Maui Fire Chief and WFCA representative for the State of Hawaii Chief Bob Roper: Retired Fire Chief from Ventura County, California, past Nevada District Forestry and WFCA Policy Advisor Grady Joseph: Previously served as Assistant Director of Recovery Operations and Logistics Management at the California Governors of Office Emergency Services; currently serves as WFCA Disaster Damage Assessment Lead

Welcome to episode 11 with Brent VanKuelen. Brent spent 27 years in the fire service in Oregon, retiring in 2019 as a Division Chief for Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue. Since retiring, Brent has spent his time consulting and works with the Western Fire Chiefs Association as a Technology Advisor. One of the first projects Brent was involved with at TVFR was building an application that that uses artificial intelligence to aid responders in better decision making. The app was built using input from providers instead of being built to meet administrative and reporting requirements. Reducing the noise that often occurs in reporting software was a focus of the project, and the end result was a more effective software creating an environment for better decision making by providers. Bob and Brent talked about the future of technology in fire response. Brent envisions the use of AI and augmented reality to provide incident details to responders. He also discusses his work with the WFCA and their current focus of advocating for the fire service in the private sector. They are achieving this goal through a technology accelerator engine that identifies companies developing products that will improve the experience for providers and the service provided to the public. One such partnership is with Rapid Deploy which is a cloud-based computer aided dispatch system that can be implemented in hours instead of months, which is the timeline for many systems currently in use. Stay tuned at the end of season 1, when Bob switches seats and we get to hear about his journey in the fire service and where he's headed next.
