🔥🌪️ Ember storms, rivers of burning embers near the ground, pose a hidden threat during wildfires, igniting homes from unexpected sides. UNSW Canberra research suggests redesigning fire-prone areas to disrupt embers and save lives. Learn more ⬇️

🧠🔥 Researchers from @PennNeurology found long-term wildfire smoke exposure raises dementia risk by 18%. Tracking 1.2M+ people, they discovered a 1 mg/m³ rise in smoke particles significantly increases diagnosis odds. Learn more:

🔥📱 Social media plays a crucial role in sharing information during crises like wildfires, but misinformation can create confusion when clear communication is needed most. How can we ensure reliable updates in times of need? Read more 👇

🐨Australia’s 2019-20 megafires burnt over 10M hectares, but their biodiversity impacts are complex to assess. Don Driscoll and 100+ researchers compiled the largest dataset of post-fire responses, covering 2,000+ species. Explore their findings ⬇️

Wildfire air pollution is linked to 1.5 million deaths annually, according to new research in @thelancet.bsky.social . This highlights the urgent need to tackle the health and environmental impacts of increasing wildfire activity. Read more ⬇️

#Wildires are increasingly common in new areas, but also more severe and frequent in areas where they have occurred for thousands of years. Watch our video to discover what we at the #FirEUrisk project are doing to respond to this hazard! 🔥 youtu.be/0jcWbghA294?...

🔴 Missed our last training event on extreme fires and wildland-urban interface management? No worries! Watch it now on YouTube to learn how responders are addressing these new challenges—or revisit it to refresh your knowledge 👇

🔥💻 Researchers developed a high-fidelity #wildfire simulation framework to study fire behaviour and risks. 117 simulations revealed how wind and slope affect fire spread, improving predictions. Learn more 👇

A Fire-Safe New Year’s Resolution. This coming year, join us in making our landscapes fire-resilient. #FirEUrisk is working across Europe to turn resolutions into action! 🔥🌲

As 2024 ends, we’re proud of #FirEUrisk’s achievements in wildfire management, thanks to our dedicated partners. Ready for the final stretch in 2025? 🎯 Catch our recap and highlights here ⬇️ fireurisk.eu/portfolio-it...

🎄On Christmas Day, domestic fires rise by 12%, often due to tree lights and candles. Stay safe and avoid risks this season! Wishing you some joyful and fire-free holidays from the #FirEUrisk team! ✨ 🎁

🌱🔥 A vicious cycle of invasive grasses and #wildfires is reducing soil carbon by 50% in drylands. Fires burn carbon stored in the soil, allowing grasses to thrive and fueling more fires. Restoring native plants could help break this cycle. Read more ⬇️

🔥🏠 Fire-prone areas are rapidly expanding, putting communities at greater #risk. As #wildfires continue to spread into new regions, we need stronger measures to protect people and property from the devastating impacts 🚨 Learn more ⬇️

🔥🌲 #FirEUrisk partners from RISE Research Institutes are studying boreal fuel consumption in experimental fires. Their research is assessing what burns during the flaming vs. smouldering phases, improving fire intensity models and smoke predictions. Essential for more realistic fuel models.

📑 New study co-authored by Stefan Doerr reveals 60% increase in global CO2 emissions from wildfires this century. Boreal forest fires are rapidly increasing, not only in frequency but also in severity! The reason behind? Anthropogenic #ClimateChange. More 👇

🔥 Heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires are growing more extreme as #ClimateChange intensifies their impact. This deadly combination is causing widespread destruction, with urgent calls for stronger fire prevention and adaptation strategies. Read more 👇

🏙️🌳 Cities are expanding and moving closer to nature, creating fire-prone interfaces. Scientists have mapped these vulnerable frontiers in detail, helping authorities target high-risk areas for improved fire management strategies. Learn more ⬇️
