Since 2000, colleges and universities across the United States have started SAFE chapters to bring awareness of the role of fire in their local ecosystems and to describe the ways the public can benefit from education and prescribed and natural fire. SAFE now consists of a network of local chapters, each with a faculty advisor. Local chapters are active in creating training and field experiences, raising funds for local activities, and provide leadership opportunities for members. Students members are encouraged to participate in their local SAFE chapter, or to start a local chapter if one doesn’t exist.
