As fire season ramps up, you may wonder how and where to find accurate, up-to-date fire information. The information space has evolved and grown in recent years, providing a richer set of resources, but also making it difficult to navigate and compare the available options. Join UC ANR Fire Network Director, Lenya Quinn-Davidson, for a conversation with some of the best minds in this space: Kevin Fetterman (Watch Duty), Zeke Lunder (The Lookout), and Daniel Swain (UC ANR). You will hear about the resources they each provide, how they find and curate their information, and how fire information plays out at different scales, from the individual fire incident to the larger landscape and climate.πŸ”₯
