The new millenium has experienced some of the worst fires around the globe in living memory.\u00a0\u00a0Not just wildfires that affect huge swathes of forest, savannah and agricultural land, but also fires occurring in suburban areas and city high-rise buildings as a result of both deliberate and accidental ignition.<\/p>\n

In 2007 alone whole\u00a0communities in\u00a0Athens and California have been razed at a huge cost\u00a0to both human life and property.<\/p>\n

How can civil and military fixed and rotary aircraft, using highly innovative aerial firefighting technologies and techniques, work with firefighting units on the ground to suppress and extinguish these fires safely and successfully? <\/span><\/p>\n

This event is the first to\u00a0address both the global issues and fixed and rotary-winged aerial technologies and techniques necessary to attack both low-populated forest and agricultural wildfires and the highly-populated urban and high-rise environments.\u00a0 This conference and exhibition\u00a0will bring together the worlds experts and focus on aerial firefighting technologies and operations, including the cooperation and collaboration experiences and lessons learned in ground-to-air firefighting management.<\/span><\/p>\n
