Who are we?
UC Berkeley SAFE is a group of Cal graduate and undergraduate students (and staff) from a variety of fields who are passionate about fire. In addition to fostering community among fire enthusiasts in academia, we strive to spread our excitement beyond the university through classroom visits, outreach events, and more. We bring live demos and hands-on activities to a variety of settings. For detailed descriptions of our educational fire outreach activities and demos, see here.
For questions, please contact carina_bilodeau@berkeley.edu
SAFE Mission
SAFE is a nation-wide student organization under the umbrella of the Association for Fire Ecology. The primary objective of SAFE is: “to provide students from diverse backgrounds with an open forum on fire ecology through which research can be shared, networks formed and funding and information resources can be accessed.”
