Our Fire Weather and Fire Danger Program Management Services provide agencies, organizations, and landowners with the tools and expertise to understand, plan for, and manage wildfire risk driven by weather and climatology. We support the development, operation, and modernization of fire danger systems and weather networks that directly inform decision-making, preparedness, and resource allocation.

Fire Weather & Climatology Analytics

We analyze historical, current, and projected fire weather patterns to provide insights into long-term fire danger trends, climate variability, and emerging risk. These analyses support planning efforts such as fuels management, resource readiness, and policy development, while also informing day-to-day preparedness decisions.

National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) Expertise

We provide technical expertise in implementing and interpreting the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS). Our services include system calibration, data management, training, and integrating NFDRS outputs into daily fire business decisions. This ensures more accurate, localized, and actionable fire danger information.

Fire Danger Operating Plans (FDOPs)

We support the development and updating of Fire Danger Operating Plans, ensuring they align with agency standards and operational needs. FDOPs provide the framework for preparedness levels, staffing decisions, prevention activities, and public communication around fire danger.

Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) Support

Our team offers technical expertise in the planning, installation, and management of Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) networks. We provide operations support, data quality control, station siting analysis, and integration with fire danger systems, ensuring stakeholders have accurate and reliable weather data for fire management decisions.
