The Pacific Fire Exchange (PFX) is a fire science communication project co-led by the Hawai`i Wildfire Management Organization and the University of Hawai`i. The project seeks to facilitate fire knowledge exchange and enable collaborative relationships among fire science stakeholders in the Pacific. PFX supports members of the Pacific island fire community including resource managers, fire responders, landowners, communities, government, non-profit, and higher education. The project aims to meaningfully contribute towards reducing the threat of wildfire in the Pacific through the exchange of knowledge between  scientists and managers and by supporting  regionally relevant fire prevention and management collaborations. The project leverages the “best available” research to reduce fire management costs and protect natural, social, and cultural resources from wildfire devastation.

Through information, training, and tools for Pacific wildfire mitigation activities, the PFX supports:

• Easier access to information sources

• Better and more comprehensive information

• Improved technical assistance

• Environment with more collaborative information transfer
