FEIS |
Fire Effects Information System An Info Center user application, FEIS is
a reference library for recorded fire effects. The application uses an artificial
intelligence (AI), rule-based, interface. The user obtains information by

printing. |
FEPMIS |
Federal Excess Property Management Information System The
Federal Excess Personal Property (FEPP) program refers to Forest
Service-owned property that is on loan to State Foresters for the purpose of
wildland and rural firefighting. Most of the property originally belonged to
the Department of Defense (DoD). Once acquired by the Forest Service, it is
loaned to State Cooperators for fire fighting purposes. It is technically no
longer excess at that point.

FIRESTAT |
Fire Statistics (Fire Report 5100-29) Version:
9.0.0
The Fire Statistics System (FIRESTAT) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA), Forest Service application used to electronically enter information
from the Individual Fire Report (form FS-5100-29) and store it in the
National Interagency Fire Management Integrated Database (NIFMID) at the
National Information Technology Center (NITC) in Kansas City, Missouri.
FIRESTAT is used to enter, update, and delete the required data on the
Individual Fire Report, FS-5100-29 form. The Individual Fire Report provides
timely statistical data and information for both administrative purposes and
managers to use in making land and resource management decisions. The report
is a record of fire occurrence, related fire behavior conditions, and the
suppression actions taken by management. Data collected from fire reports
can enable management to monitor the program performance and plan the most
cost-effective fire management organization.
The Firestat FS-5100-29 Electronic Formatta form was released
November 2009. The FS-5100-29 is an electronic form created using
Formatta E-Forms Suite. The e-form allows the user to download, fill out,
save, print, route, and submit forms for automated processing. The
electronic FS-5100-29 form is readily accessible; however, only authorized
FIRESTAT users will be able to submit data to the FIRESTAT database. The
form is only for inserting new fire occurrence records. It cannot be used to
update existing fire occurrence records.
Firestat and the Firestat Electronic form can be found at : F&AM

FOFEM |
First Order Fire Effects Model FOFEM
is an easy-to-use computer program for predicting effects of prescribed fire and
wildlife. Currently FOFEM provides predictions of fuel consumption, smoke production
and tree mortality. Area of applicability is nationwide on forest and non-forest
settings. FOFEM also contains a planning mode for prescription. |
FPA |
The purpose of the Fire Program Analysis (FPA) System is to
provide managers with a common interagency process for fire management planning
and budgeting to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative fire management
strategies through time, to meet land management goals and objectives. FPA
is driven by quantified fire objectives and performance measures for the full
scope of fire management activities.

See IIAA99 and PCHA99 for detailed discussion of key modules. |
National Fire Management Analysis System Version 2.30.0
NFMAS calculates the Most Efficient Level (MEL) of funding for fire-fighting resources
based upon average historic fire activity. Analysis of historical data develops key
numbers that reflect the historical fire occurrence base for a fire planning project area.
Output from the analysis becomes a part of the basic input for other portions of
the NFMAS process.
IBM - Implementation Summary:
Status: Y2K certification package will be submitted 2/12/99. The Y2K
testing and certification for IIAA99 will proceed with the non-renovated version of the
application, since there are currenly no identified Y2K issues with the application.

An interagency resource ordering and status system.
Project Summary: As
stated in the ROSS Application Life Cycle Charter dated 6/29/98, the ROSS
Project will result in a system that
provides automated support to interagency and agency dispatch and
coordination offices within the wildland fire organization. The system
will: 1) provide current status of
resources available to support all-risk activities such as wildfire,
flood, ; 2) enable dispatch offices to
exchange and track resource order information electronically;
and 3) enable dispatch offices to rapidly and reliably exchange
mission-critical emergency electronic
messages.

WFAS |
Wildland Fire Assessment System
WFAS, the Wildland Fire Assessment System, is an internet-based
information system. The current implementation provides a national view of
weather and fire potential, including national fire danger and weather
maps and satellite-derived "Greenness" maps (Burgan
and others 1997). Development is continuing.
WFAS was first made available in 1994. In 1999 operation was
transferred from the Fire Sciences Laboratory (FS Rocky Mountain Research
Station, Missoula MT) to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC,
Boise, ID).
WFAS was redesigned in 2002 to provide easier access to products and
vastly improve the archival process. The archives now provide real-time
access to past map images including fire danger, heavy fuel moisture,
Haines Index, and greenness.
Status: Operational.
Release date: 1/1/99

System
This system assists fire managers and analysts in
making strategic and tactical decisions for fire incidents. It has
replaced the WFSA (Wildland Fire Situation Analysis), Wildland Fire
Implementation Plan (WFIP), and Long-Term Implementation Plan (LTIP)
processes with a single process that is easier to use, more intuitive,
linear, scalable, and progressively responsive to changing fire
complexity.
WFDSS integrates the various applications used to
manage incidents into a single system, which streamlines the analysis and
