| Application of the Wildfire Risk Assessment Framework |
In 2015, FMI analysts continued to be involved with application of a wildfire risk assessment framework developed largely by RMRS scientists from both the Fire, Fuel, and Smoke Science Program and |
| ArcFuels |
Vegetation and fuel management planning is a complex problem that requires advanced vegetation and fire behavior modeling and intensive spatial data analyses. |
| Assessment of community wildfire exposure in the western US |
The first comprehensive assessment of where public wildlands in the Western US potentially contribute wildfire exposure to communities. |
| BehavePlus |
The BehavePlus fire modeling system is a PC-based program that is a collection of models that describe fire behavior, fire effects, and the fire environment. |
| FARSITE |
**FARSITE4 will no longer be supported or available for download. FlamMap6 now includes FARSITE.** See FlamMap for more information. |
| FFI: Ecological Monitoring |
FFI is an ecological monitoring software application designed to assist managers with collection, storage and analysis of ecological information. |
| Fire Weather Alert System |
The Fire Weather Alert System (FWAS) has been designed to warn on-the-ground firefighters of dangerous weather conditions in their area. |
| FireFamilyPlus |
FireFamilyPlus supports the spectrum of fire weather/fire danger/fire climate/fire occurrence analysis tools required by fire managers to successfully use the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS). |
| Firefighter Safety |
Perhaps one of the most critical decisions made by firefighters during daily fire management operations is the identification of suitable safety zones. |
| FIREMON - Ecological inventory and monitoring |
Fire Effects Monitoring and Inventory Protocol |
| FireStem |
Often fires are managed to support or reduce the presence of specific plant species or sizes. FireStem is a computer model designed to aid fire managers in predicting tree mortality based on fire behavior and intensity. |
| FlamMap |
FlamMap is a fire analysis desktop application that runs in a 64-bit Windows Operating System environment. It can simulate potential fire behavior characteristics (spread rate, flame length, fireline intensity, etc.), fire growth and spread and conditional burn probabilities under constant environmental conditions (weather and fuel moisture). With the inclusion of FARSITE it can now compute wildfire growth and behavior for longer time periods under heterogeneous conditions of terrain, fuels, fuel moistures and weather. |
| FOFEM - fire effects model |
FOFEM (a First Order Fire Effects Model) is a computer program for predicting tree mortality, fuel consumption, smoke production, and soil heating caused by prescribed fire or wildfire. |
| FSim-Wildfire Risk Simulation Software |
FSim is the most widely used program in the US for wildfire risk analysis, relied upon by Federal and State agencies, and Private Industry (reinsurance). |
| FuelCalc - Canopy fuel calculator and model |
FuelCalc is a desktop software application for determining changes in surface and crown fuel loading after thinning, pruning, piling and/or prescribed fire. |
| LANDFIRE Prototype - Mapping fuels |
Development of the tools, protocols, methods, and data products for the National LANDFIRE Project. |
| National Fire Danger Rating System |
U.S. National Fire Danger Rating System Development and Support |
| WindNinja |
WindNinja is a computer program that computes spatially varying wind fields for wildland fire application. |
| WindNinja-Mobile |
WindNinja-Mobile has been developed so field going personnel can also benefit from these high resolution wind forecasts on their phones and tablets. |
| WindWizard |
Microscale wind simulator using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. |
