Wildfire Information

Posted by Dan Wilson on November 28, 2007

An excellent source for wildfire information is Firewise Communities.  Part of the National Wildland/Uban Interface Fire Program,  the national Firewise Communities program is “intended to serve as a resource for agencies, tribes, organizations, fire departments, and communities across the U.S. who are working toward a common goal: reduce loss of lives, property, and resources to wildland fire by building and maintaining communities in a way that is compatible with our natural surroundings.”  Check out their page called Firewise You Can Use.  It contains some nice interactive models, including one called Dynamics of Wildfire.
