Wildfire Preparedness 2025 i Austin brings together fire management agencies, public land authorities, environmental organizations, and technology innovators to advance strategies for wildfire prevention, protection, and response. The event serves as a key meeting point for sharing insights and building collaborations to address the growing challenges of wildfire management.

Watchbird is participating to learn directly from the wildfire community — understanding their operational challenges, safety needs, and field conditions. Our goal is to explore how SAFEgaiter, our low-burden respiratory garment, can support both firefighters and civilians in wildfire-prone areas. By engaging with experts and practitioners, we aim to position SAFEgaiter as a practical, dual-use solution that enhances protection and comfort in hazardous air conditions.
