Fuel Characteristic Classification
System (FCCS)
The
Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) is available
for downloading and use on personal computers to calculate
fuel characteristics and fire potential in fuelbeds.
The FCCS is being demonstrated on the Okanogan-Wenatchee
National Forests and work continues to integrate it with LANDFIRE.

Software and Electronic
Databases
FIREHouse,
the Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse provides
information about fire science and technology. It provides
access to the results of fire research efforts
The
natural fuels photo series will soon be available in an electronic
version. A "beta" version can be viewed now.
Consume 3.0 uses fuel characteristics, lighting patterns,
fuel conditions, and meteorological attributes to calculate
fuel consumption and emissions by combustion phase.
