During this presentation, Chief Veneris discusses firefighting operations in the wildland-urban interface from a California perspective. He uses information and products from both his department, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) as well as the latest publications from Firefighting Resources of California Organized for Potential Emergencies (FIRESCOPE). Chief Veneris provides information that will be useful to both the company officer as well as the incident commander when faced with a fire in the wildland-urban interface and evacuating civilians in the fire’s path.
