Alaska Fire Portal
The Alaska Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to Alaska. 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 Alaska. Content may also be relevant to boreal forests of western Canada.
A substantial amount of the Alaska-related content was originally compiled through the FIREHouse project (the Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse), funded by the Joint Fire Science Program, and its two related projects: the Alaska Reference Database, (which was merged the FRAMES Resource Catalog, accessible through the "Catalog Records" tab below) and the Alaska Fire and Fuels Research Map, hosted through the AICC ArcIMS mapping website.

Alaska Fire and Fuels Research Map
The Alaska Fire and Fuels Research Map provides online site-level information and locations for fire and fuels-related studies through a map interface. Funding was provided by the Joint Fire Science Program and it is hosted through the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center.

Alaska Reference Database
The Alaska Reference Database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress. The Joint Fire Science Program provided initial funding.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Fire Jobs Portal provides information about the types of positions BLM Fire has to offer, helpful hints for applying, contact information for local BLM fire managers and links to USAJOBS for current vacancies.
The National Firefighter Registry (NFR) is the largest effort ever undertaken to understand and reduce risk of cancer among U.S. firefighters. NIOSH is recruiting firefighters to join the NFR in order to better understand the link between firefighting and cancer. Firefighters are exposed to chemicals on the fireground that could increase their risk of developing cancer. There are many unanswered...
The purpose of this research is to deepen understanding of team resilience in prescribed fire operations. The University of Central Florida's Dr. Chelsea Noble is conducting research on team resilience and how different organizations implement successful prescribed fires. She is specifically looking for folks certified to conduct prescribed fires.
Funded by the State of Oregon, the College of Forestry at Oregon State University will be conducting research to develop methodologies and collect necessary data to establish fuel pathways for low carbon fuels derived from woody biomass residues from forestry operations. The Department of Wood Science and Engineering at Oregon State University is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher to...
The Wood Science and Engineering Department at Oregon State University is seeking a highly motivated MS or PhD student. The successful applicant will develop methods and pathways to convert locally available forest residues into biofuels and value-added products. Knowledge of one or more of the following is required: wood science, chemistry, chemical analysis, or biomass thermochemical conversion...
The new Fuels Data app, created by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, has launched and is available at the App Store and Google Play. The app allows users to collect plot-level fuels data for burn planning and fire effects monitoring. Developers intend to use collected data to train AI technology in the future to estimate fuel loading from photos. If you are interested in learning...
