From the text ... 'LANDFIRE can give more precise predictions than previous fire-behavior models did, allowing land managers to let beneficial fires burn, Shlisky says.The database has been tested in the northern Rockies and in central Utah; now it will expand nationwide. As more land managers plan for both fire prevention and forest health, Shlisky says, LANDFIRE will help them 'justify what they're doing on an ecological basis.''
