Join us for an illuminating evening unpacking the science behind wildfire management in our unique Sonoran Desert ecosystem, with Tiffany Davila of the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. 

Have you ever wondered how wildfires are managed in our unique Sonoran Desert landscape? Join us for an illuminating evening with Tiffany Davila from the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, as she unpacks the science behind fighting fires in our desert ecosystem. You’ll gain insights into the complete wildfire management process, from detection through containment, and discover the decision-making criteria that determine whether to implement controlled burns or active suppression strategies. Learn about inter-agency collaboration during wildfire response and how invasive grasses have transformed wildfire behavior across Arizona, forcing fire managers to adapt their strategies and develop new approaches to protection and prevention. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a concerned homeowner, or simply curious about how our desert is protected, this presentation offers a unique opportunity to understand the science and practice of wildfire management in Arizona.
