FlamMap-FARSITE thumbnail

FlamMap is a fire analysis desktop application that can simulate potential fire behavior characteristics, fire growth and spread, and conditional burn probabilities under constant environmental conditions.

FOFEM thumbnail

FOFEM (the First Order Fire Effects Model) is a desktop software application for predicting tree mortality, fuel consumption, smoke production, and soil heating caused by prescribed fire or wildfire. SpatialFOFEM is a spatial implementation of FOFEM.

ForSys thumbnail

The ForSys Planning System is a decision support tool that simulates land management scenarios and measures outcomes at a range of scales.

FSim thumbnail

FSim simulates the growth and behavior of hundreds of thousands of fire events for risk analysis across large land areas using geospatial data on historical fire occurrence, weather, terrain, and fuel conditions.

IFTDSS thumbnail

The Fuel Treatment Effectiveness Monitoring (FTEM) application collects data that documents the effectiveness of fuel treatments on wildland fire behavior when a wildland fire intersects with a previously applied hazardous fuels reduction treatment.

FuelCalc thumbnail

FuelCalc is a desktop software application for determining changes in surface and crown fuel loading after thinning, pruning, piling and/or prescribed fire.

ICS-209-PLUS thumbnail

ICS-209-PLUS is a research-ready compilation of all-hazards operational data 1999-2020. These situation-reporting data can be used to relate large-fire activity to weather, fuel treatment activities, firefighting response, and a range of socioeconomic impacts.

IFTDSS thumbnail

The Interagency Fuel Treatment Decision Support System (IFTDSS) is a web-based application designed to make fuel treatment planning and analysis more efficient and effective.

Interagency Spatial Fire Planning logo

Spatial Fire Planning provides an intuitive and robust method of developing, storing, and delivering Land, Resource and Fire Management plan direction in a spatial platform. Spatial Fire Planning data is used in the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) to provide direction and intent for strategic planning and decision-making.

LANDFIRE thumbnail

This multi-partner program produces consistent, comprehensive, geospatial data and databases that describe vegetation, wildland fuel, and fire regimes across the United States and insular areas.

NFRDS thumbnail

The National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) uses weather, fuels, and fire occurrence data to calculate fire danger for a given area. In the United States, the NFDRS has been used to support operational fire decision making for the last 50 years.

Snag Hazard thumbnail

Snag Hazard is a map that classifies forested areas into categories of low, moderate, high, or extreme snag hazard based on snag density (number of dead trees/acre) and height.

Photoload thumbnail

The Photoload method provides quick, accurate assessments of surface fuel loading. It can be used as an alternative to the planar intersect, or Brown's transect, method.

Quantifying Resin Ducts thumbnail

This tool provides methods to measure axial resin ducts in annual tree rings. These methods provide the necessary protocols for consistent terminology and quantification of xylem resin ducts.

Real-Time Forecasting of Wildfire Ignitions thumbnail

The RMRS Rocky Mountain Center developed a comprehensive georeferenced model for predicting wildfire starts out to 7 days based on forecast weather and data on vegetation cover and recent drought history.
