2021-09-11 09:00 - 11:00 UTC | Valley Center Fire Protection District, 28234 Lilac Rd, Valley Center, CA, 92082, United States
On Saturday, September 11, 2021, the Valley Center Fire Protection District will be hosting their annual 9-11 reading of the names and patriot day celebration at Fire Station 1 from 0900 to 1100 hours. This year is especially important as it is the 20th anniversary of our promise to Never Forget the day our Country was attacked in an act of terrorism causing the death of 2996 people including 343 Firefighters, 23 Police Officers, 37 Port Authority Officers, 189 Pentagon Employees and 64 American Airline Employees. We also remember the thousands of Soldiers, Airmen, Seamen and Marines who have collectively paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect America and our way of life from those who would do us harm and continue reading the growing list of Firefighters and rescue workers who have contracted a myriad of illnesses and died since digging on the pile to retrieve our fallen brothers and sisters.

Fire and the Future: Tucson's Bighorn Fire One Year Later
2021-06-02 18:00 - 19:30
Wednesday, June 2, 6 – 7:30 PM
Hosted by Tom McNamara, Arizona Public Media
FREE REGISTRATION

About the event
In June and July 2020, Tucsonans watched as a lightning-caused fire swept across the Santa Catalina Mountains, a rolling inferno that engulfed most of the range. By July 23—the official containment date—the Bighorn Fire had burned 119,978 acres, from upland desert along the Front Range to the pine forests at 8,500 feet. The Arizona Institutes for Resilience (AIR) three-part webinar Fire on the Mountain in August 2020 looked at the fire in depth to help us better understand what transpired.
A year later, we are starting to find answers to some of the most critical questions of 2020, as well as to look to the future:

What was the role of invasive plant species in the behavior of the fire, especially at the wildland-urban interface?
What studies are being undertaken to understand the changing role of fire in increasingly vulnerable landscapes?
Climate change is our new reality, what are the short- and long-term trends for weather extremes and their effects on species not just in the Southwest but on a continental scale?
What are the key governance and policy issues from the local to the national level?

This free public webinar by AIR, the SW CASC, and the University of Arizona brings the expertise of our community to address the evolving and expanding role of fire in the west. Please join us to better understand not only the fire itself but the complex interactions between climate change, invasive species, management practices, policy, and economics that are shaping our future.

Register today!
