WildfireSAFE: Real-Time Data to Improve Wildfire Management
-
WildfireSAFE provides an intuitive platform to access fire weather, hazard and behavior information from the Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) for specific incidents. It supports the greater interagency fire community in the planning, response, and recovery phases of wildfire management.

Western Fire Chiefs Association (WFCA) Fire Map
-
The WFCA Fire Map pulls data from the US Forest Service via National Interagency Fire Center IRWIN feed, and 911 Dispatch data via PulsePoint to track the location of the wildfire as they start and while they’re burning. The WFCA Fire Map is the first map of its kind to pull such data from 911 Dispatch in relevant areas.

Overwintering behavior reduces mortality for a terrestrial turtle in forests managed with prescribed fire
-
Using radiotelemetry, we studied overwintering behavior and interactions with fire in a forest-dwelling terrestrial turtle, the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina), over an eight-year period at two sites that use prescribed fire in forest management.

Growing-Season Prescribed Fires and Ground-Nesting Birds: Answers for Longleaf Restoration
-
This presentation will look at the science behind the use of fire during the "lightning season" (the months of April – July) and its effects on ground-nesting birds such as quail and Bachman’s sparrow.

Landsat’s Role in Managing Wildland Fires
-
Worldwide, fire plays a critical role in maintaining healthy forests, but fire can also be damaging. Homes are destroyed and the effects on air quality can be felt for miles. Forest fires are occurring more often and with greater intensity than in years past, and Landsat plays a critical role in understanding the impact. Landsat data enables land managers and scientists to assess the severity and extent of large fires as they plan recovery efforts; to improve safety and prevent damage to life, property and natural resources; to estimate how much pollution burning releases into the air; and to monitor the post-fire recovery of burned areas.
