Wildfire in the western US is an ecological phenomenon and a societal problem. Ecologically, many fires burn in areas where countless fires have burned in the past. Fires reset ecosystems, and plants and animals are often able to take advantage of recently burned areas. However, some fires are now burning in atypical ways, causing more lasting changes on our landscapes. In addition, some wildfires are causing air quality issues and damaging homes, infrastructure and watersheds. What can science tell us about how to better manage fire and our landscapes? This presentation will address what we know (and what we still don't know) about fire's role in our ecosystems and how we can prepare our landscapes, communities, and society for the fires of the future. Larissa Yocom, Executive Director of the Utah Forest Restoration Institute, shared her insights at the Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy at the University of Utah on November 13, 2025.
