WindNinja
The WindNinja app for Android and iOS gives users the ability to run gridded wind simulations based on forecasted weather that are downloadable and available to use offline.
The Fire Weather Alert System (FWAS)
FWAS has been designed to warn on-the-ground firefighters of dangerous weather conditions in their area. Users set custom weather thresholds and the FWAS sends alerts via text message and email when those thresholds are exceeded. FWAS monitors several types of weather measurements (RAWS, radar, etc.) and forecasts to alert firefighters of dangerous weather such as high winds, low RH, thunderstorms, and Red Flag Warnings. FWAS is currently a prototype system with a web page-based user interface (which is accessible via a browser on a mobile device).
The Wildland Fire Safety Evaluator (WiSE)
WiSE is a tool designed to provide safe separation distance calculations to wildland firefighters. This new tool gives firefighters the crucial ability to identify suitable safety zones while in the field. With inputs based on direct observations in the field, wildland firefighters now have the ability to quickly calculate the distance needed to provide themselves and others, safety from burn injury. wildland firefighters can enter on-scene observed data via parameters such as: Wind, Slope, Fuel Height and Resource Information.
Safe Separation Distance Estimator
The SSDE combines terrain slope and vegetation height data from LANDFIRE with user-defined burn conditions and wind speeds. It allows users to identify and draw potential safety zones on a map, then determine if the area provides a safe separation distance from surrounding vegetation. The combination of real-time conditions and cutting-edge geospatial data will allow users to rapidly assess SSD with new clarity and confidence.
Wildland Fire Analyst (WFA Pocket)
WFA Pocket allows users to calculate fire behavior on a mobile device, leveraging the science developed by the US Forest Service Missoula Fire Sciences Lab, this app enhances calculations with a 3D interactive map interface, real-time weather integration, and seamless fuels data assimilation.
Watch Duty - Wildfire Maps and Alerts
Receive notifications about the status and conditions on the ground as they change. Monitor firefighting aircraft flight paths in real time, see air quality and wind direction, evacuation orders and a lot more information all in one platform. Watch Duty is a service, not an app it is operated by real people gathering data and sharing it through one platform.
