Welcome to the California Fire Portal

The California Fire Portal provides information about fire science and technology relevant to California. Our goal is to provide "one-stop shopping" for resource managers, decision makers, scientists, students, and communities who want access to the results of efforts to understand and manage fire and fuels on lands in California.

Check out the California Fire Science Consortium (CFSC): the CFSC is a network of scientists and managers funded by the Joint Fire Science Program to synthesize local fire science and encourage collaboration between fire researchers, land managers, and stakeholders. The Consortium's goals are twofold: (1) to become a clearinghouse for all fire science resources relevant to the regions within the state of California; and (2) to encourage collaboration between fire researchers and land managers and other stakeholders.
