This week marks one full year since we rebranded the blog to the “Fire Networks Blog.” Previously known as the FAC Net Blog, this change was made with the intention to represent the work and voices of practitioners across the suite of efforts in the Fire Networks partnership (Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, Fire Learning Network, Indigenous Peoples Burning Network, and Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges).
The FAC Net Blog originally began all the way back in 2014 (stay tuned for a 10 year celebration post), and has since been a valued, reliable source of stories and resources from practitioners integrating Fire Adapted Community concepts on the ground in their areas. We’ve had authors from around the country and world, sharing unique perspectives and approaches to weaving fire resilience into their communities.
Before we do a full, 10 year deep dive into the blog – we thought we’d highlight some of the inspirational, engaging, and relevant content we’ve posted over the past year since the blog expanded to represent the Fire Networks as a larger partnership.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Fire
A must-read recap of resources from a recent Fire Networks learning series – valuable especially for communications professionals, but also for anyone looking to better understand how the way we talk about fire matters.
Pyro Futures: Imagining Our Evolving Relationship With Fire
Visioning exercises are a remarkable tool in creating the future we want. In this blog, professors from the University of California Davis introduce three scenarios of how our relationship to fire might look depending on our changing attitudes toward it.
Our Responsibility to the Future
In this blog, Indigenous Fire Practitioner Ryan Reed describes his relationship with fire, and the healing work of addressing intergenerational trauma through building movements for the future.
