The Wildland Fire Emissions Information System (WFEIS) is a web-based tool that provides users a simple user interface for computing wildland fire emissions across North America at landscape to regional scales (1-km spatial resolution). WFEIS provides access to fire perimeter maps along with corresponding fuel loading data layers and fuel consumption models to compute wildland fire fuel consumption and fire emissions for specified locations and date ranges. The system currently allows for calculation of emissions from fires within the United States (excluding Hawaii and territories) from 1982 to 2010.
