Calibrations on FSPro analyses that started May 27 resulted in rules and guidelines that appeared to be working on numerous fires across the state and are now the basis for initial analyses. These rules/guidelines appear to be working for the pre-green up conditions we were experiencing at the end of May and early June. An assessment of these rules with changing conditions should be completed. For late season fires see the documents prepared by: Stratton, Kurth, Wilmore, Miller from 2009. Alaska is experiencing drier conditions earlier this year, therefore additional calibrations are likely for fires for late season fires.
