    DOI Fire Aviation Partners Education Organization
    U.S. Department of the Interior - Aviation & Fire: This presentation is sponsored by a consortium of the four Wildland fire fighting agencies from the Department of the Interior. The Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service have a high degree of interest in educating the civil pilots population about the inherent dangers associated with non-participating aircraft operating in the vicinity of Wildland fires.

    The display provided in the Federal Pavilion provides for a live demonstration of how to obtain the latest, real time information on current airspace flight restrictions identified by Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR). This will allow pilots to include this procedure in their normal flight planning process.

    Additional information is available to assist homeowners living in forested, urban interface areas to make their home Fire Safe.

    The statement above comes from the EAA AeroVenture Webpage.
