If you speak Dutch, tune in! 🎙️
Chiel van Heerwaarden (@WUR ) explains how extreme wildfires can create their own weather, and how weather balloons help researchers understand fire behaviour.

🔥 How can we better understand the atmospheric processes behind extreme wildfires?
From 19–21 October, the ODET project held its Extreme Wildfire Events training series - 2026 edition at @WUR, in the Netherlands.
Here's what the training covered 🧵👇🏽
The training benefited from the expertise of @WUR , @PauCostaF , @bomberscat, @NIPV_NL and @DREAM_ITALIA_ , alongside wildfire professionals from different countries 🫱🏼🫲🏽
We truly believe that exchanging scientific knowledge and operational experience is essential to advancing our understanding of extreme wildfires.
Thanks to everyone involved! 🔥
#ODET #ExtremeWildfires
🚒🌍 #ODET brings together fire & rescue services, researchers and non-profits from across Europe to tackle #ExtremeWildfires.
👥In our #MeetThePartners series, we'll introduce the organisations behind ODET and the role each plays in turning knowledge into action.

Aquesta setmana, #bomberscat hem acollit dos tècnics @DREAM_ITALIA_ en el marc de l'@ODETproject. S'han integrat al #GRAF per aprendre la metodologia de recollida de dades i el seu anàlisi durant els incendis forestals amb el llançament de sondes
#ODET's Work Packages (WPs) turn #wildfire knowledge into operational impact. WP1 and WP5, led by @PauCostaF, coordinate the project and its outreach. The technical WPs develop data, science, tools & training for #extremewildfires. Over coming weeks we’ll present them.
