The Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory, established in 1960, is dedicated to advancing the understanding of wildland fire through state-of-the-art research facilities. Researchers at the lab explore all aspects of wildland fire, including fuel dynamics, fire behavior, and management systems. With a focus on supporting effective wildland fire management, the lab provides valuable datasets, tools, and resources that assist land managers before, during, and after fire events. Their research is synthesized into summaries and factsheets that address critical topics relevant to fire management practices. Generated from the website
