Wildland Fire Decision Support System

Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS)
WFDSS assists fire managers and analysts in making strategic and tactical decisions for incidents.  It has replaced the WFSA (Wildland Fire Situation Analysis), Wildland Fire Implementation Plan (WFIP), and Long-Term Implementation Plan (LTIP) processes with a single process that is easier to use, more intuitive, linear, scalable, and progressively responsive to changing fire complexity.
WFDSSintegrates the various applications used to manage incidents into a single system, which streamlines the analysis and reporting processes.
