About FRAMES

FRAMES provides a method of exchanging information and transferring technology among wildland fire researchers, managers, and other stakeholders in an online environment. The FRAMES portal provides essential searchable information, a platform for data sharing and storage, development of new tools, and support to federal wildland fire management agencies in the United States throughout the various stages of wildland fire, including planning, operation, and post-fire monitoring.

FRAMES Resource Catalog

The goal of the FRAMES Resource Catalog is to be a comprehensive source of information about wildland fire-related resources, targeted to wildland fire and other natural resource professionals. More than 31,000 records have been added to the FRAMES Resource Catalog, as well as nearly 34,000 publications from the Tall Timbers E.V. Komarek Fire Ecology Database. (Please note, however, that these record counts are not additive, as we are gradually working through the identification and consolidation of duplicate records.)

FRAMES Partner Sites

FRAMES offers website hosting and services for wildland fire researchers and managers. These Partner Sites are developed and maintained by partners using FRAMES tools. Some Partner Sites are available to the public, while others are Intranet sites where information and tools are shared within a select group.

We here at FRAMES are saddened by the passing in March of John Black, our interface and graphic design guy of many years, but most importantly a good friend and colleague.
We miss you, John. Happy trails.
