Learning and Burning FASMEE 2023
Release Date
June 6, 2024
Fire and smoke researchers and land managers collaborated to "learn and burn" from a unique, high-intensity prescribed fire that was conducted to restore aspen forests on the Fishlake National Forest in Utah. Led by the Pacific Northwest Research Station, researchers from many agencies and institutions worked with fire managers to safely collect data on fire behavior, smoke composition and transport, soil dynamics, and forest ecology, with the goal of improving models used for fire and smoke management. This partnership is called the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE). Find more information on the FASMEE webpage.
Keywords: FASMEE, controlled burn, prescribed fire, research, collaboration, Fishlake National Forest.
