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.

Idaho Prescribed Fire Council
The Idaho Prescribed Fire Council has partnered with FRAMES to host their website. Their mission is to promote the safe and effective use of prescribed fire for healthy forests and rangelands, wildlife, and fire resilient communities across Idaho.

Great Plains Fire Science Exchange Literature Searches
The Great Plains Fire Science Exchange has partnered with FRAMES to provide literature searches on topics such as patch burn-grazing and pyric herbivory. Visit the Great Plains Fire Science Exchange Searches page to access these searches.

Conversations Through the Smoke: A Traveling Art Exhibition
The Conversations Through the Smoke wildfire art exhibit connected the creative voices of artists and fire practitioners with communities in the Northern Rockies that have been highly affected by recent fires and smoke. Including art and reflections by 15 fire managers, firefighters and fire researchers, the art was on display in New Meadows, Moscow, and Salmon, Idaho, and in Seeley Lake, Montana, in September-October 2018.

The National Firefighter Registry (NFR) is the largest effort ever undertaken to understand and reduce risk of cancer among U.S. firefighters. NIOSH is recruiting firefighters to join the NFR in order to better understand the link between firefighting and cancer. Firefighters are exposed to chemicals on the fireground that could increase their risk of developing cancer. There are many unanswered...
The purpose of this research is to deepen understanding of team resilience in prescribed fire operations. The University of Central Florida's Dr. Chelsea Noble is conducting research on team resilience and how different organizations implement successful prescribed fires. She is specifically looking for folks certified to conduct prescribed fires.
Funded by the State of Oregon, the College of Forestry at Oregon State University will be conducting research to develop methodologies and collect necessary data to establish fuel pathways for low carbon fuels derived from woody biomass residues from forestry operations. The Department of Wood Science and Engineering at Oregon State University is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher to...
The Wood Science and Engineering Department at Oregon State University is seeking a highly motivated MS or PhD student. The successful applicant will develop methods and pathways to convert locally available forest residues into biofuels and value-added products. Knowledge of one or more of the following is required: wood science, chemistry, chemical analysis, or biomass thermochemical conversion...
The new Fuels Data app, created by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, has launched and is available at the App Store and Google Play. The app allows users to collect plot-level fuels data for burn planning and fire effects monitoring. Developers intend to use collected data to train AI technology in the future to estimate fuel loading from photos. If you are interested in learning...
