USAA has been on a 10-year journey to find ways to underwrite homeowners insurance in the WUI.

Every year, thousands of small fires and dozens of large ones break out somewhere in Canada.  This has been the story for millenia and will continue as long as there are people and lightning to start fires in the boreal forest.  Now more than ever, people work, build, live, and play in the boreal forest and disaster can occur when people and fire intersect.

Dr. Brent Ruby will present his informative webinar on the physiological limits of wildland firefighters and how to address energy loss on the fireline. Learn what you can do to help your colleagues when they become fatigued while fighting fire (and what NOT to do).
