Fire Research at the Science–Policy–Practitioner Interface is a Section of a fully open access journal Fire (SCIE, CiteScore 3.7). The main aim of the Section is to highlight research seeking to assess operational approaches to wildland fire management, and to facilitate the sharing of information between wildland fire managers and scientists, through interacting with a series of international...

Fire climate, which may be thought of as the synthesis of daily fire weather over a long period of time, is a dominant factor in fire-control planning. In a broad sense, climate is the major factor in determining the amount and kind of vegetation growing in an area, and this vegetation makes up the fuels available for wildland fires.

An overview of Alaska’s vast, complex, and changing wildfire environment. Highlights recent wildfire trends in Alaska, their impacts to humans and wildlife, and the strong relationship between wildfire managers and scientists to improve fire-related decision making.
FFI (FEAT/FIREMON Integrated) is a monitoring software tool designed to assist managers with collection, storage and analysis of ecological information.
The Fire History Analysis & Exploration System (FHAES) is the result of an effort to redevelop and enhance components of the FHX2 computer program, considered to be the standard for fire history analysis. FHAES is a web-based design that is user-friendly and easily accessible to a broad range of users.
The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Fire Planning and Fuels Management Resource Portal provides information, tools, and resources including career development-related information for fire planning and fuels management specialists.
The Southwest FireCLIME document library is an annotated bibliography of published research related to the interactions between climate change, wildfire, and subsequent ecosystem effects in the southwestern U.S. The 190 publications contained in the library were identified through a comprehensive literature review, and have each been summarized to distill the outcomes as they pertain to fire and climate.
The Southwest Fire Science Consortium is partnering with FRAMES to help fire managers access important fire science information related to the Southwest's top ten fire management science issues.
