Welcome to the Southwest Fire Portal


The Southwest Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to the southwestern contiguous United States. Our goal is to provide "one-stop shopping" for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on lands in the Southwest.

SWFSC logoCheck out the Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC): the SWFSC is a way for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science in ways that can effectively move new information to management practices. In the Southwest there are many localized efforts to develop scientific information and to disseminate it to practitioners on the ground. The goal of the SWFSC is to help bring these parallel efforts together to be more efficient and inclusive. It also seeks to link the academic community and the management community in educating future fire professionals with up-to-date science as well as practical experience. Funding for the SWFSC has been provided by the Joint Fire Science Program.
