2026 WUI Fire Engineering Summit
2026-08-10 - 2026-08-12
The WUI Fire Engineering Summit will be convened with the support of the WUI Working Group, as well as the Climate Change Working Group of SFPE Foundation’s Grand Challenges Initiative, which acknowledges the negative impact of a changing climate on wildfire and wildland fire season length, fire frequency, intensity, and size.
The focus of this event will be on interdisciplinary engineering research on emerging technologies and solutions to better assess WUI fire risks and develop mitigation strategies that lead to more resilient WUI communities. WUI fires are complex phenomena, and better preparing our communities to prevent, respond, and recover from them requires the most creative, innovative, wide-ranging set of engineering solutions from all disciplines.
University of Maryland, College Park, August 10-12, 2026.
