The IAWF's Human Dimensions of Wildland Fire Conference series has advanced the knowledge and practice related to the human side of managing fire prone landscapes.

The First Human Dimensions Conference, which took place in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2007, was inspired by the “Burning Questions” report to National Wildfire Coordinating Group.

The Second Human Dimensions Conference took place in San Antonio, Texas in 2010 and provided a forum for sharing what has been learned about the diverse social elements of wildland fire management and discussing how this knowledge can be used and expanded up by land managers and public leaders to effectively achieve their assignments and goals.

The Third Human Dimensions Conference of Wildland Fire is scheduled for April 17 -19, 2012 in Seattle, Washington. We will continue to build on the two prior conference to identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for innovation and development. We will explore ways for managers, the community and fire scientists to expand collaborations and develop and test new knowledge.

This series is complementary to the International Wildland Fire Safety Summit series.
