Using Water Effectively in the Wildland/Urban Interface can help change the way fire departments address the risk to interface residences and structures, through Firewise preparation and mitigation before a wildfire threatens a community. The video is incredibly valuable and informative to show different ways of using water effectively in interface firefighting and provides examples of techniques or strategies including planning and locating water sources, accessing those water sources for supply; and testing and maintaining the source.
