Increased use of prescribed fire requires an expansion of the current capabilities of decision support systems. In this paper we describe influencing factors that must be included to assess potential fire severity and risk of escape of prescribed fire, capabilities and shortcomings of current fire danger rating and fire behavior prediction systems for risk assessment in support of prescribed fire, and system development work that is underway to meet changing fire management needs. © 1998, Tall Timbers Research, Inc.
