Throughout her time on the dais, District 10 City Council Member Alison Alter has stressed the need for the city to understand and prepare to fight wildfires in the wildland-urban interface, or WUI, which is the area between unoccupied land and human-made structures.
Austin is now the largest city in the world to have every firefighter trained in fighting fires in the WUI, she said. Back in 2021, Council allocated funding to support training all of the city's firefighters to respond to fires in this combination zone.
