Wildland Fire Science Partnership
FRAMES is part of a new Wildland Fire Science Partnership that includes the University of Idaho, University of Montana, and the US Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station. The partnership was created to develop and deliver knowledge and decision support tools to policymakers, wildland fire managers, and communities.
FRAMES Funding Support
The Fire Research And Management Exchange System (FRAMES) Technology in Support of Wildland Fire Research and Management
The goal of FRAMES is to provide a systematic method of exchanging information and transferring technology between wildland fire researchers, managers, and other stakeholders in order to make wildland fire documents, data, tools, and other information resources easy to find, access, distribute, compare, and use. Publicly accessible content on FRAMES is organized into three main areas:
Subject Areas Find resources (i.e., data, documents, tools, projects, programs and web pages) organized by subject.
Geographic Areas Find regionally significant information resources and tools that correspond to the U.S. Geographic Area Coordinating Centers (GACCs).
Partner Sites Visit sites that are operated and maintained by partner projects and organizations in order to share pertinent data, publications, and other materials.
The Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) assists fire managers and analysts in making strategic and tactical decisions for fire incidents. It replaces the Wildland Fire Situation Analysis (WFSA), the Wildland Fire Implementation Plan (WFIP), and the Long-Term Implementation Plan (LTIP) with a single process that that is responsive to changing fire complexity and is easier to use, more intuitive, linear, and scalable.
ArcFuels is a library of ArcGIS macros developed to streamline fire behavior modeling and spatial analyses for fuel treatment planning. The macros link: 1) key wildfire behavior models; 2) fuels and vegetation data (e.g. Landfire, FVS databases); 3) MS Office, and 4) ArcGIS.
FHAES Alpha 1.0 Release
Fire History Analysis and Exploration System (FHAES) Alpha 1.0 Release
The FHAES project is enhancing and/or redeveloping components of the FHX2 software program, developed by Henri Grissino-Mayer, so that they are free, user-friendly, and easily accessible to a broad range of users on the Internet.
Download the Alpha 1.0 Release of FHAES from the FHAES partner site on FRAMES.
