Are it fire officials, fire chiefs, government officials? Like who-- What's the range of people attending this event?
7:22
So when, when we said it was originally intended to be government to government, uh, that was based on the US construct, uh, with a US fire administration at the federal level, but not all countries have that.
7:36
Uh, in fact, most countries do not have that.
7:38
Uh, so that's when we, we quick-quickly adapt it to, uh, by the fire service for the fire service, uh, which means that in most of these countries, what you're having are the top fire officials, uh, from the largest cities or the largest communities, uh, globally, uh, that are coming together, uh, at the 26th World Fire Congress.
8:00
And really what we're trying to do is capitalize off of that inaugural 2024 Fire Congress and make it something that's sustainable.
8:10
So from inaugural event to institutional, uh, that really is going to give us a chance, uh, to really look at those greatest challenges that Stephan mentioned, uh, whether it be climate, weather events, uh, flooding, wildfires that we're seeing, uh, impact our urban areas through those urban conflagrations, and that's happening across the world.
8:33
And in some cases, uh, some of our European partners may be more at risk than some of the areas, uh, that we traditionally think as wildfire areas.
