Southwest Fire Portal
The Southwest Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to the southwestern contiguous United States. 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 Southwest.
