Fire Related Services


Air Sciences Inc. has established a reputation for providing innovative and efficient fire emissions and dispersion modeling services for private and governmental clients. Our capabilities are best illustrated by our list of recent projects:

  • Development of the Smoke Impact Spreadsheet (SIS) model, a CALPUFF-based smoke emissions and dispersion model.

  • Development of the Fire Effects Tradeoff Model (FETM), an ecosystem dynamics model that accounts for management activities and fire behavior and effects at the landscape level (www.fs.fed.us/r6/aq/fetm/fetm/).

  • An FETM-based assessment of wildfire effects for sites in Alaska, California, Montana, Utah, New Mexico, Michigan, Alabama, and Florida.

    • An investigation of residue consumption and PM2.5 emissions from open-field burning of cereal-grain residues and bluegrass residues in eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

    • An inventory of future-year wildfire, prescribed fire, and agricultural burning emission inventories for 13 Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) States.

    • An assessment of wildfire risk and public safety for the Umpqua Land Exchange Project in Southern Oregon.
  • An assessment of wildland fire ignition potential from airborne release of aircraft self-protection flares over 25 National Guard Military Operations Areas in 17 States.

  • Development and instruction of smoke emissions and dispersion modeling courses at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, as well as at regional training centers in Portland, Missoula, and Sacramento.
