The Northwest Fire Science Consortium works to accelerate the awareness, understanding, and adoption of wildland fire science. We connect managers, practitioners, scientists, and local communities and collaboratives working on fire issues on forest and range lands in Washington and Oregon.
NWFSC is one of
fifteen regional exchanges
sponsored by the Joint Fire Science Program.
