The 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference will be held from March 26-30, 2007 in Destin, Florida. It will focus on the fire environment - the 'fire environment' consists of fire weather, fire behavior, fire danger rating, predictive services...

The Fire Effects Tradeoff Model (FETM) is a disturbance effects model designed to simulate the tradeoffs between alternative land management practices over long periods of time (up to 300 years) and under diverse environmental conditions, natural fire...
In 2001, FETM was applied on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) of the Superior National Forest, Minnesota, as part of a Fuel Treatment Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). On July 4, 1999, a storm with wind speeds in excess of 90 mph...
FETM was applied on a portion of the Angeles National Forest (ANF). The vegetation of the ANF is predominantly chaparral; the fuel treatment scenarios comprise four levels of prescribed burning in northern mixed chaparral, the most common chaparral...
The Fire Emission Production Simulator (FEPS) is a user-friendly computer program designed for scientists and resource managers with some working knowledge of Microsoft Windows applications. The software manages data concerning consumption, emissions...
FROSTFIRE was a landscape-scale prescribed research burn in the boreal forest of interior Alaska that occurred July 8-15, 1999. Within the 2200-acre perimeter, fire mimicked natural conditions by burning 900 acres of mostly black spruce, leaving the...
As part of a proposed USDA Forest Service national framework for regional atmospheric modeling, as described in companion proposals from fire/atmosphere research work units in the Southern, Pacific Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain...
Resource managers need the ability to predict and manage smoke movement associated with prescribed fire in the South. This funding will be used to speed completion of smoke simulation models and implement predictive models for all 13 southeastern...
We plan to initiate and coordinate an inter-agency modeling consortium for the South that will develop and assimilate weather and fire models at fine levels of resolution. These models will rely on the mesoscale MM5 model and will eventually be able to...
The Applied Wildland Fire Research in Support of Project Level Hazardous Fuels Planning Project was initiated as a pilot project by the U.S. Forest Service in response to the need for tools and information useful for planning site-specific fuel (...
