The CTIF Forest Fire Commission meets in Bavaria in December 2025

I hope this message finds you well and in good health. I also trust you had the opportunity to spend some restful and meaningful time with your loved ones during the Easter holidays.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our President, Frédérique, to Jean-Frédéric, and to their entire team for their warm hospitality and the excellent logistical organization of our recent meeting. It was truly appreciated.
 

If possible, we would be grateful if you could kindly share the presentations with us via a Google Drive or Dropbox link at your convenience.
 

Looking ahead, our next CTIF Forest Fire Commission meeting is scheduled to take place in Unterschleißheim, Bavaria, Germany, from 9–12 December 2025. Special thanks to Hannes for hosting us on this occasion. Please find attached the first draft of the agenda for your review.

Hannes, I look forward to receiving the registration form for the meeting after the conclusion of the fire season.
