Gary Achtemeier attended the 3^rd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference held at Spokane, Washington and gave oral and poster presentations. The oral presentation was “What Rabbit Rules tells us about the Esperanza Fire: Step 1: Fire Spread up Cabazon Mountain.” The paper described Rabbit Rules simulations of fire spread for variations in height of grass and presence of rockiness and gullies. The Esperanza Fire was a major event in Southern California in 2006. The poster was “Toward a Rule-Driven Wind Model for Mountainous Terrain.” Yong Liu also presented a poster at the conference entitled “Simulation and Evaluation of Smoke Plume Rise with Modified Daysmoke.” Achtemeier also gave a training session on Rabbit Rules to nine interested parties at the 3rd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference. The purpose of the training session was to inform land managers of Rabbit Rules and encourage collaboration. Students from the US, Canada, Turkey, and Australia attended the workshop.
