WFP 302 Developing Credibility and Competence in Wildland Fire LeadershipThe nature of wildland fire is rapidly evolving. Regions that have not historically experienced wildland fire are experiencing fires that are unprecedented both in their frequency and impact upon the community. Regions that have a long history of wildland fires are experiencing wildland fires outside the traditional fire season and seeing fires of a truly epic magnitude. These events serve as a wake-up call to us all. This session will use the newly developed IAFC WUI playbook to equip attendees with a variety of tools to address preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery in the wildland-urban interface. Mark Novak, Fire Chief, Vail (Colorado) Fire and Emergency Services

Patti Blankenship, Technical Advisor, U.S. Fire Administration

OS 205 Pre-Developed Strike Teams, Adding the Things You Need to Your Response Unless you are a large metro agency, you more than likely do not have everything you’ll need when the disaster strikes. This presentation discusses the keys to develop pre-formed strike teams and task forces and the relationships needed to make them successful.

CONFERENCE SESSIONSCredentials, apparatus typing, pre-arranged agreements, and the proper attitude are all needed to build these priceless resources. This discussion will navigate the methods used by Texas in developing these teams, for use with TIFMAS and as stand-alone regional assets — get ready for a bumpy ride!John Glover, Assistant Fire Chief, Flower Mound (Texas) Fire and Emergency Services

WFP 305 Transforming Wildland Fire Policy — Utah's Success Story Following Utah's record-setting catastrophic 2012 fire season, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands has created a progressive wildfire policy and fire management system that emphasizes fire risk reduction in partnership with communities. Attendees will learn about the philosophical shift Utah has undertaken; the numerous policies, administrative, organizational and statutory changes that have been made; and the consensus-building approach with cities, counties and fire chiefs, all to build a comprehensive, statewide system focused on proactive wildfire risk reduction and, over time, systematically reducing the threat and cost of wildfire across the state. You don’t want to miss these lessons learned! Jennifer Hansen, Wildfire Risk Reduction Coordinator, Utah Division of Forestry

10:30 – 11:30 AM

GENERAL SESSION 4: The Summer of Smoke: Montana 2017 To say the 2017 fire year was a challenge for the state of Montana is an understatement. The national preparedness level had been at its highest level (PL 5) for nearly a month before the state began seeing its own critical fire activity. Meaning, by the time that a relatively few very large fires had absorbed available resources in the geographic area and the fire situation in Montana hit critical mass, national resources were in very short supply. In addition to the operational challenges posed by resource shortages, smoke from fires both in and outside the state was extreme and persistent, causing health risks to both firefighters and the public, as well as presenting operational challenges. Don’t miss WUI’s closing general session as we dig into the challenges of this situation, as well as, operational and policy changes being explored to better prepare for long duration fires and fire seasons, limited resources during periods of critical need, and persistent smoke going into the future.Mike DeGrosky, State Fire Manager, MT DNRC; Patrick Holmes, Montana Governor Bullock's Natural Resource Policy Advisor
