Joint Fire Science Program Fire Science Exchange Network
-
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Fire Science
Exchange Network is a national collaboration of 15 regional
fire science exchanges that provides the most relevant,
current wildland fire science information to federal, state,
local, tribal, and private stakeholders within ecologically
similar regions. The network brings fire managers,
practitioners, and scientists together to address regional fire
management needs and challenges.

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.
