Wildfires create significant smoke impacts to communities near and downwind of the wildfire events. This webinar will provide a discussion on ways to prevent wildfire smoke exposures, including both residential strategies (including air filtration...
The Rocky Mountain Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. 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 Rocky Mountain and Great Plains regions.

Publications related to wildland fire behavior and fire danger rating authored or co-authored by Dr. Martin E. Alexander.
The ArcBurn project is designed to integrate cultural resources information into fire management decision processes.
The BehavePlus fire modeling system is a Windows based computer program that can be used for any fire management application that involves modeling fire behavior and fire effects.
Software downloads and publications related to the Crown Fire Initiation Spread (CFIS) System.
FFI (FEAT/FIREMON Integrated) is a monitoring software tool designed to assist managers with collection, storage and analysis of ecological information.
The Fire Severity Mapping System Project (FIRESEV) provides fire managers with critical information about the potential ecological effects of wildland fire at multiple levels of thematic, spatial, and temporal detail.
The Great Plains Fire Science Exchange (GPE) is partnering with FRAMES to provide literature searches on topics such as patch burn-grazing and pyric herbivory.
The IFIRE - UI Combustion Lab was developed to advance research and educational opportunities within the field of fire sciences.
The International Multiproxy Paleofire Database (IMPD) is a unique source of fire history information from tree-ring and sediment-charcoal based paleofire records, managed by the NOAA Paleoclimatology Branch. The goal of the Decision Support Tool project has been to work in collaboration with partners in the USFS and NOAA to find the best way to deliver the IMPD information to the vegetation and fire management community in the State of Arizona and in other western states, tailored to their needs and capabilities.
The purpose of this web page is to provide downloadable maps for wildland firefighting resources in Colorado, to build situational awareness before and while responding to wildland fires.
The purpose of this web page is to provide downloadable maps for wildland firefighting resources in Wyoming, to build situational awareness before and while responding to wildland fires.
This site was developed to showcase the results of the JFSP-funded project "A Review of Available Economic and Financial Biomass Information and Tools for Federal Land Managers in the West."
Researching long term (>10 yrs) response in fuel loads and vegetation composition after large and severe wildfires across five fire-adapted ecosystems in the western US, including Alaska.
Scientists from the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station and the University of Montana conducted a study in which observed data were used to produce statistical models describing the probability of high severity fire as a function of fuel, topography, climate, and fire weather.
The vision of the World of Wildland Fire is to provide and connect fire science educators and trainers with scientifically solid and peer-reviewed teaching tools and techniques, using state-of-the-art materials, which will be free and accessible to all.
