The Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) is an integrated, web-based resource to support fire management decisions It has an extensive nationwide user base of federal, state and local land managers

Forecast Reference Time: 11 30 2025 11:00:00 UTC Derived by WFAS using the National Digital Forecast Database and RAWS surface weather observations
- Fire Danger Rating - wfas. net
WFAS A Fire Danger Rating level takes into account current and antecedent weather, fuel types, and both live and dead fuel moisture (Deeming and others 1977, Bradshaw and others 1984) The adjective class rating is a method of normalizing rating classes across different fuel models, indexes, and station locations It is based on the primary fuel model cataloged for the station, the fire danger

These data are used to create the WFAS maps Here the information is presented in tabular form, organized by state In addition to the observed (or forecasted) values, the locally defined "Staffing Specifications" that are used to determine the Adjective Class rating are displayed
- National Fuel Moisture Database has moved - wfas. net
To prepare for this transition, the current database, that was located within the Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) at https: wfas net , has been shut down permanently as of March 11, 2024

WFAS, the Wildland Fire Assessment System, is an internet-based information system The current implementation provides a national view of weather and fire potential, including national fire danger and weather maps and satellite-derived "Greenness" maps (Burgan and others 1997)
- Weather - wfas. net
WFAS is now offering point-based map data in a Google Earth compatible format The files are updated daily and include current weather, fire danger and fuel moisture observations as well as forecast weather conditions when available
- Dead Fuel Moisture - wfas. net
WFAS Dead fuel moisture responds solely to ambient environmental conditions and is critical in determining fire potential Dead fuel moistures are classed by timelag A fuel's timelag is proportional to its diameter and is loosely defined as the time it takes a fuel particle to reach 2 3's of its way to equilibrium with its local environment Dead fuels in NFDRS fall into four classes: 1-h
