| WRN has identified five fundamental technical problems not yet adequately addressed, that underlie the |
| Wildfire fighting community's inability to stop the most dangerous wind-driven fires: |
| 1) Potential Big fires are not attacked soon enough with effective resources. |
| 2) Current air tankers do not carry enough suppressant to attack the heads of the big fires. |
| 3) Airborne firefighting assets do not fight fires at night. |
| 4) Current firefighting systems have limited effectiveness in high winds. |
| 5) The fire services are without an active, viable research and development program to identify appropriate technical resolutions. |
