#Wildfire is often depicted as bad for #wildlife, but that is not the case! Many species like to enter burned areas for the increased forage and other benefits. Learn more about wildlife and wildfire in this fact sheet from the @SWFireScience 🦌🔥 swfireconsortium.org/2026/02/18/cha…

Check out our latest research brief! Understanding smoke microbial emissions is critical for assessing risks to wildland firefighters and smoke-affected populations, and evaluating the ecological implications of fire-driven microbial dispersal. Read it: buff.ly/YJeAvfk

What is a fire regime?? And why do we care about them? Fire regimes are the historic pattern of fire--a description of the frequency, seasonality, severity, intensity, fire type, size and pattern. @SWFireScience on fire regimes in Arizona and New Mexico: swfireconsortium.org/category/fire-…

The Wayne Harrison Memorial Scholarship supports the academic and professional growth of students through funding research, management, or education projects related to wildland fire science. Applications due April 15; scholarships are awarded by May 31. ow.ly/r1la50Ysuce

Online Tools for Prescribed Fire: Simple Smoke Screening Tool Visualize smoke dispersion Avoid towns or dispersion roadways Step 1: Click Map for Location Information - Select burn unit by clicking on the map Step 2: Input Burn Unit, Fire, & Fuel Information - Size - Fuel Type - Ignition Method - Wind Direction & Smoke Path Step 3: See Predicted Smoke Dispersion - highest smoke impact zone - low to moderate smoke impact zone Product of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services weather.fdacs.gov/Simple-Smoke/i…
