Fire
CanFIRE
The Canadian Fire Effects Model (CanFIRE) is a compilation of Canadian fire behaviour models that are used to calculate first-order (immediate, physical) fire effects on stand characteristics, and to simulate the resulting second-order (later, ecological) fire effects on stand composition. CanFIRE is provided by Natural Resource Canada's Canadian Forest Service.
CSIRO
Fire danger and fire spread calculator provided by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
CWFIS
The Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) is a computer-based fire management information system that monitors fire danger conditions across Canada. CWFIS is provided by Natural Resource Canada's Canadian Forest Service.
EuFireLab.org
A laboratory devoted to wildland fire sciences and technologies in the Euro-Mediterranean region. This website includes an E-Libray that provides a list of registered bibliographical references.
FBKB.ca
Fire Behaviour Knowledge Base.
Fire.org
Public domain software for the wildland fire community.
FIREHouse
The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse.
FireModels.org
Fire behavior and fire danger software from the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory.
Heartland Software Solutions

NCAR/MMM
Coupled atmospheric-fire modelling that investigates the dynamics of wildfires through physical-based modelling. This website is provided by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology (MMM).
Smoke
AIRFIRE.org
Part of the USDA Forest Service's Threat Characterization and Management Program at the Pacific Northwest Research Station. An applied research team focuses on understanding how the atmosphere interacts with wildland fire.
BlueSky Framework
A modular modeling framework that links a variety of independent models of fire information, fuel loading, consumption, emissions, and smoke dispersion.
FDS-SMV
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics model of fire-driven fluid flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires. Smokeview (SMV) is a visualization program used to display FDS outputs. This website is provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Weather
NAEFS
The North American Ensemble Forecast System (NAEFS) is a weather modeling system run jointly by the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) and the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) to provide numerical weather prediction products to both countries for a forecast period that runs out to 2 weeks in the future.
Upper Air Data
Upper air maps, atmospheric soundings, and profiler data provided by the University of Wyoming's Department of Atmospheric Science.
Weatheroffice.gc.ca
Up-to-date information on past, present and future weather conditions provided by Environment Canada.
