Both Fuel Consumption & Smoke Emissions and Fire-caused Tree Mortality are available in the Fire Modeling Services Framework (FMSF) ( ). SpatialFOFEM Fuel Consumption & Smoke Emissions are available in FlamMap 6.2. SpatialFOFEM is a spatial implementation of the point-scale FOFEM model that simulates two sets of outputs: 1) Fuel Consumption & Smoke Emissions using a GeoTIFF of fuels (typically FCCS fuelbeds) and 2) Fire-caused Tree Mortality using a GeoTIFF tree list (typically from the TreeMap (Riley, et al 2022 )). FOFEM input files can be created in the FFI ecological monitoring software ( or by manually creating an input file in FOFEM’s standard format. FOFEM is used by resource managers and planners to provide quantitative fire effects information for tree mortality, fuel consumption mineral soil exposure, smoke and soil heating. First order fire effects form an important basis for prediction secondary effects such as tree regeneration plant succession, and changes in site productivity, but these long-term effects generally involve interaction with many variables (for example, weather, animal use, insects, and disease) and are not predicted by this program. FOFEM (a First Order Fire Effects Model) is a computer program for predicting tree mortality, fuel consumption, smoke production, and soil heating caused by prescribed fire or wildfire.įirst order fire effects are those that concern the direct or indirect or immediate consequences of fire.
