Joint Fire Science Program 🔥 Welcome to the official page of the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP)! We connect science and decision-making to better manage wildland fire.

Follow us for the latest research, tools, and insights that support fire and land management across the U.S. FireScience.gov is the official website of the Interagency Joint Fire Science Program. We fund research about emerging wildland fire topics, and distribute research findings to help fire practitioners, managers and policymakers make sound planning and management decisions.

Check out the new Alaska Vegetation (AKVEG) Map, an ecologically detailed vegetation map for Alaska.

The AKVEG map provides high-resolution vegetation maps of present-day conditions and time-series maps of plant functional types from 1985-2020.

Timm Nawrocki, a terrestrial ecologist at the University of Alaska Anchorage, will be introducing the AKVEG map at an upcoming webinar hosted by the @ Alaska Fire Science Consortium on Dec 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Alaska time.

Check out the map at https://akveg.org/

Short on time and want to keep up with the science? Every few months, the Alaska Fire Science Consortium summarizes recent, relevant science tailored to wildfire managers' needs through Randi’s Roundup.

The most recent roundup includes articles on tussock tundra fires, wildfires and permafrost, how fire seasons across North America now overlap more often than in the past, and links between climate, fire extent, and dollars spent on wildfire management.

Join the Alaska Fire Science Consortium for their 2026 Fall Science Workshop on November 3, 10, and 17th from 1-3 p.m. Alaska time. This year, it’s all virtual!

November 3rd will highlight recent AFSC activities, a review of seasonal forecasts, a new lightning tool, impacts of heat and drought on fire, updates from the National Weather Service, and the impacts of smoke on communities.

November 10th will feature current and newly funded research from the Bonanza Creek LTER and the US Wildland Fire Service, along with presentations on new fuel treatments, cultural burning, and a new wildland fire initiative from the Arctic Council.

November 17th will cover newly funded research on a new prescribed fire toolkit and overwintering ("holdover”) fires. Participants will hear updates on satellite detection in Alaska, get an introduction to the new AKVEG map, and explore tools for visualizing fuel treatments. The day will close with a look at the application of fuels and fire effects monitoring in Denali National Park.
