Synopsis:

As fire seasons grow longer, more destructive, and more deadly, it’s increasingly clear that our approach to reducing wildfire risk is failing. This film brings cutting-edge science and indigenous knowledge into focus. It forces all of us, from city dwellers to seasoned fire professionals to rural citizens, to question what we believe and offers a science-based way forward to live–and thrive–with fire

Event Details:

Doors open at 6:00pm. Seating at 6:30 for this 79 minute film.

Popcorn will be available as well as other snacks.

After the film, their will be a Q & A session from attendees. 

This facilitated conversation hopes to bring forth community concerns and to talk what are best practices in mitigating wildfire risk in the Applegate and Williams Valley communities. The Williams Rural Fire Protection District have extended invitations to forest & fire professionals to answer questions and talk about work that is being done and where they are going with their work.
