Wildland Fire Decision Support
Working collaboratively with you and your staff, the WFM RD&A staff will provide real-time wildland fire decsion support that considers incident-specific fire behavior, values at risk, performance, and decision analysis. The result will be improved risk-informed strategic and tactical decision making for wildland fires; reduced firefighter and aviation exposure; improvement in the basic science for large fire decision making; and improved capability to manage large fire expenditures.
