🔥 Can the plants around your home influence what happens during a wildfire? That's the question IBHS researchers are working to answer in the next phase of our wildfire vegetation experiments.
By testing different types of plants under varying moisture conditions, locations and arrangements, researchers are studying how vegetation within 30 feet of a home behaves when exposed to fire and wind that replicate real-world wildfire conditions.
Learn more about our wildfire research at ibhs.org/wildfire.

A new video on Traffic Incident Management (TIM) at wildfires provides critical strategies for responder and public safety where fire meets the road. These principles are essential for managing smoke and protecting personnel in low-visibility. 🔥
Watch: respondersafety.com/rs-tim-r…
ALT Graphic overlay with the text "ROADWAY SAFETY SHORTS" in a gray box, followed by the title "Traffic Incident Management at Wildfires." The image features two fire personnel in yellow Nomex shirts standing by a white pickup truck on a roadway. Other emergency vehicles are visible in the distance against a backdrop of desert hills and saguaro cacti under a hazy, smoke-filled sky.

It’s Invasive Species Week, and today we are highlighting Stinknet, one of the invasive weeds taking over Arizona roadsides and backyards.
Why is it a problem?
1. Fire Hazard: It dries into highly flammable tinder that fuels wildfires.
2. Outcompetes Natives: It chokes out beautiful desert wildflowers, such as Arizona Poppies.
3. Health Risk: Can cause skin rashes and respiratory issues.
Can you spot it?
Flowers: Small, yellow, globes.
Leaves: Carrot-like.
Scent: A strong, chemical, turpentine-like smell.
If you find Stinknet on your property, pull it from the root, and always place the plants in a sealed trash bag to prevent seed dispersal!
For more information, or to report stinknet, visit stinknet.org
