WASHINGTON, D.C. — Don’t miss this opportunity to see how the Forest Service and partners worked together to slow the largest wildfire in Colorado’s history.

Join us for a virtual screening of “Fireforest,” a film that highlights how effective, proactive fire treatments reduced impacts of the Cameron Peak Fire in 2020. 

This event will bring together fire managers and communication professionals to explore how we can more effectively showcase the agency’s life-changing work. A live panel discussion with experts will follow the screening.

“Fireforest” highlights how proactive forest treatments, such as prescribed burns, on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and adjacent lands mitigated damage and aided recovery. For fire managers, it demonstrates how your work reduces wildfire intensity and enhances resilience. For communicators, it’s a masterclass in turning science into stories that inspire public support.
