At the Fire Behavior and Fuels conference in Portland, Oregon March 27-30, an excellent painting of a fire scene was raffled off. The winner was Lee Smith from Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. The proceeds of the raffle was $1,100, which was matched by the IAWF. A total of $2,200 was presented to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. The WFF has a photo and a short article about the raffle at THEIR WEB SITE. In 2005 at the Wildland Fire Safety Summit in Missoula, the IAWF matched a pass-the-hard-hat collection for the WFF.
