Fuels & Fuel Treatments
View guide.
A photo guide for use in classifying fire behavior fuel models from the Scott and Burgan (2005) library that are common to the sagebrush steppe of the American west. The goal of this guide is to enable the quick and easy classification of fuel models in sagebrush steppe to –
- enhance the mapping of fuel beds in an increasingly fire prone region,
- guide the evaluation of fuel and post-fire restoration treatments, and
- improve our understanding of fuel conditions during times of the year when wildfire preparedness is greatest (i.e. hot and dry).

The USDA Forest Service Research and Development is proud to host a series of SCIENCEx Fire panel discussions intended for fire, fuels and land managers on topics associated with the Wildfire Crisis Strategy and beyond. The SCIENCEx Fire panel discussions will provide big picture and synthetic looks at the current state of knowledge and management considerations for each topic. Each panel is comprised of expert practitioners and researchers from the Forest Service, universities, other land management organizations, industry and non-governmental organizations. Pre-registration is required, and each recorded session will be 90-minutes in length.

Prescribed fire is one of the most effective tools for fuels reduction, habitat improvement, and ecological restoration. Yet, there are challenges surrounding social acceptance in implementing prescribed fire programs across the region. This Fueling Collaboration panel discussion will explore the factors that influence public perception and acceptance of prescribed fire in land management. Experts from diverse fields will share insights into effective and culturally appropriate communication strategies that engage communities, address concerns, overcome resistance, and build robust support for ecological restoration practices that include the use of fire. By highlighting successful examples from across the region, this panel aims to equip both fire researchers and fire managers with the tools needed to foster community trust and collaboration in fire-adapted landscapes.
