Welcome to re-designed website of the California Fire Science Consortium. In addition to organizing our resources by region, we are now organizing by topic. Below and in the left menu you'll find links to topic-based resource libraries. For regional resource lists, use the "Regions" menu at the top or the left. New CFSC resources and events will be posted on the home page, below.
The CFSC is a network of fire science researchers, managers, and outreach specialists tasked with improving science outreach and knowledge exchange between fire researchers, managers, policymakers, and private landowners.
