Northern Rockies Fire Portal
The Northern Rockies Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and northwestern Wyoming. Our goal is to provide "one-stop shopping" for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on lands in the Northern Rockies.
