Building fire resilience where communities meet wildland

As communities expand into forested regions across North America, Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones are emerging everywhere – from remote rural areas to bustling urban centers. While living and working in these areas increases wildfire exposure, it's entirely possible to coexist safely with this natural phenomenon through thoughtful design and construction practices.

Join the ROCKonnect Masterclass Series for "Navigating wildland-urban interface: Solutions and best practices for fire-resilient construction," a comprehensive virtual session designed for commercial building professionals working in fire-prone areas. 

This focused presentation will equip you with practical knowledge of the International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC) and demonstrate how to implement fire-resilient assemblies using commercially available materials, including stone wool insulation.

This is your opportunity to hear from Robin Urquhart and Ali-Al Janabi, who are ensuring these principles work in practice and to get your questions answered.
