Wildfire is the UK and Ireland's bi-ennial wildfire conference and has been held every other year since 2003, most recently taking place in Buxton in September 2011. Wildfire represents an unrivalled opportunity for all those involved in the prevention of, and response to, wildfires to come together to share best practice, hear from researchers working on the subject and meet providers of wildfire related equipment and services.
