We participate directly in fire operations to build capacity, to guide research and development, and to establish and maintain relationships.

For the past eleven fire seasons, staff from the NCLFA have engaged in active, on-the-ground support of a number of wildland fire and wildland fire use events. Incident support activities range from infrared mapping of fire locations, fire and fuels behavior modeling, internet communications support, computer mapping, post-fire severity assessments, and digital database development for data maintenance and archiving.
