Introduction to FlamMap 3.0

In 2008, we developed this lesson for S-495 Unit 6: Short-Term Geospatial Analysis Using FlamMap. This lesson introduces FlamMap 3.0 and provides useful background information for both the desktop version of FlamMap and WFDSS Basic and Short-Term Fire Behavior.

PDFs of Fire Spread Probability Model (FSPro)

The following lessons were prepared in late 2008 specifically for S-495 Unit 8: Long Term Geospatial Fire Analysis using FSPro. These very comprehensive lessons are here temporarily for your guidance and reference but, be aware, there is no plan to update them as changes occur in FSPro and WFDSS, in general. The primary authors of these documents are: Chuck McHugh, Rick Stratton and Julie Gilbertson-Day.
