Abstract

The Fire, Fuel, and Smoke Science Program (FFS) of the U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station focuses on fundamental and applied research in wildland fire, from fire physics and fire ecology to fuels management and smoke emissions. Located at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory in Montana, the scientists, engineers, technicians, and support staff in FFS conduct national and international, cutting-edge work in wildland fire research and develop research and management tools and applications. Their work is designed to improve understanding of wildland fire as well as safe and effective fire, fuel, and smoke management. The research is divided between six general focus areas of study, described on the next page.
