The FRAMES Emissions & Smoke Portal is sponsored by the NWCG Smoke Committee to provide smoke management information and resources to the community of fire, land management, and regulatory professionals tasked with addressing smoke from wildland fire.
The purpose of this site is to provide maps for wildland firefighting resources to build situational awareness before and while responding to wildland fires.
This site provides searchable access to the JFSP-funded annotated bibliography "Forestry-based Biomass Economic and Financial Information and Tools."
