The Northwest Fire Science Consortium (NWFSC) is a collaborative network dedicated to enhancing fire science discourse and application across Washington and Oregon. Comprising federal and state agencies, universities, non-profit organizations, and private landowners, the Consortium aims to effectively disseminate fire science knowledge and tools through a coordinated outreach framework.

NWFSC provides a wide array of resources, including newsletters, infographics, and podcasts, to facilitate communication between researchers and practitioners in the field of fire science. The Consortium also conducts needs assessments and program evaluations to address the distinct fire management challenges faced by different stakeholders. Their initiatives are spearheaded by a diverse Steering Committee of experts in forestry, ecology, and fire management, ensuring that the needs of all communities, including underrepresented groups, are met.

The NWFSC is not only an information hub but also fosters collaborative projects and research to advance understanding of wildland fire dynamics and resilience in the Pacific Northwest. For inquiries and to stay updated, subscribe to their newsletter.
