The homepage of IUFRO Unit Forest Fires is an integrated file on the website of the Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC). Until the early 1990s the activities of the IUFRO Forest Fires (former 8.05.00) was restricted to co-sponsoring fire conferences. In 1994 it was intended to involve IUFRO more actively in fire research. It was recognized, however, that several international organizations had developed focused forest fire research programmes, such as the IGBP-IGAC-BIBEX and the IBFRA. At the IUFRO XX World Congress in Finland it was agreed to keep the group alive as a liaison node between IUFRO and the other fire research programmes. The XX World Congress (Tampere, Finland, 1995) was utilized as a forum in which boreal fire scientists evaluated the FIRESCAN Bor Forest Island Fire Experiment.
The last IUFRO Group 8.01.10 meetings were held in Rogow, "Remote Sensing and Monitoring", Poland, 1-3 June 1999 and at the XXI World Congress, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2000. At that last World Congress, the fire group organized a series of focussed oral and poster sessions.
IUFRO supports the concepts of the FAO/ECE/ILO Team of Specialists on Forest Fire and the fire science projects under the IGBP to share expertise with other regions of the world. IUFRO continues to co-sponsor UN-FAO/ECE International Forest Fire News and the Global Fire Monitoring Center.
