Call for Papers:
The 10th Wildland Fire Safety Summit continues the tradition begun by the IAWF in 1997 to provide a forum for sharing the latest developments in wildland firefighting safety. In the mid-1990s, the interagency wildland fire community commissioned the groundbreaking Wildland Firefighter Safety Awareness Study. The final TriData report, released in 1998, made specific recommendations for implementing cultural changes for safety in the areas of culture, leadership, fire management, training, human factors, and organizational learning, to name a few. To revisit the impact of this landmark initiative, a major emphasis of the 10th Wildland Fire Safety Summit will be:
"10 Years after the TriData Study: What is different?"
Please consider submitting an abstract for a paper presentation, poster, or special session on this or another safety-related topic, including:
- Aviation safety on wildfire operations
- Issues in wildfire safety around the world
- Safety in the Wildland-Urban Interface
- Advances in wildland firefighter safety
- Research, practices, training, and equipment

Optional Dude Fire Staff Ride (Field Trip) - May 1, 2009
In 1990, six firefighters died and five others were badly burned on the Dude Fire in nearby Payson, Arizona. Plans are underway for a Staff Ride to the site of the Dude Fire, where participants will be able to walk in the firefighters’ footsteps, to learn from their perspectives, and reflect on the safety legacy of that fire.
