The 2006 National WUI Fire Education Workshop emphasized the importance of continuous learning among wildland fire professionals, community planners, and homeowners. By examining case studies like the FACES of the 2003 Firestorm, participants explored the concept of a learning organization—one that effectively acquires, interprets, and transfers knowledge to enhance safety in WUI environments. The workshop underscored critical tasks such as gathering environmental intelligence, adopting best practices, embracing past experiences, and fostering systematic problem-solving to support community resilience against wildfire threats.
