Abstract

Announcing the release of new software packages for application in wildland fire science and management, two fields that are already fully saturated with computer technology, may seem a bit too much to many managers. However, there have been some recent releases of new computer programs and revisions of existing software and information tools that deserve mention because they constitute a suite of technology that can be used to effectively integrate fire ecology into fire management.
