Abstract

A workshop dealing with the art and science of fire management was held October 24–27, 1988, at Kananaskis Village, Alberta, in association with the first annual meeting of the Interior West Fire Council. A total of 36 invited presentations were made, preceded by a keynote address and followed by a workshop summary, involving four technical sessions: fire management problems and opportunities; fire research programs in support of fire management decisions and solutions; the role of new technologies, analytical systems, and support services in fire management activities; and fire management actions and practices. The luncheon and banquet addresses, session abstracts, and field trip notes are also chronicled.
