Welcome to NIFTT!

The National Interagency Fuels, Fire, and Vegetation Technology Transfer (NIFTT) operates under the umbrella of the Wildland Fire Management Research, Development, and Application program within the Rocky Mountain Research Station. NIFTT is currently sponsored by the National Interagency Fuels Management Committee and LANDFIRE.

NIFTT's mission is to provide land managers with science-based analysis tools and training (e.g., online courses, webinars, tutorials, guidebooks, and workshops) focused on the assessment of fire behavior, fire effects, fire regimes, and vegetation dynamics. We provide customer support via our web pages (www.niftt.gov and www.frcc.gov) and Help Desk (helpdesk@niftt.gov). NIFTT also offers classroom workshops that can be tailored to local needs. Please contact NIFTT if you are interested in a classroom workshop in your region.

Be sure and see us at the Association for Fire Ecology (AFE) Southwest Fire Ecology Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico February 27 - March 2, 2012. The Wildland Fire Assessment Workshop will be February 27th.

We welcome your questions and comments. Please contact us at helpdesk@niftt.gov
