In September 2021, the Black Hills National Forest (BKF) contracted with Pyrologix to conduct a spatial wildfire hazard assessment across the BKF. The BKF is set to undergo Forest Plan Revision and the Potential Operational Delineations (POD) planning process and identified the need for comprehensive fire modeling to provide supporting documentation. The results of this […]

In July 2019, the Pacific Southwest Region of the U.S. Forest Service contracted with Pyrologix to conduct a spatial wildfire hazard assessment across all land ownerships across the state of California. The project consisted of three parts: fuelscape calibration, wildfire hazard assessment, and summary of wildfire risk to California communities. In early March 2020, just […]

The Pacific Southwest Region of the USDA Forest Service contracted Pyrologix to complete an assessment of wildfire hazard across all land ownerships in the state of California. The foundation of any wildfire hazard assessment is a current-condition fuelscape, updated for recent disturbances and calibrated to reflect the fire behavior potential realized in recent historical wildfire […]

The purpose of the USFS Region 4 Quantitative Wildfire Hazard Report is to provide foundational information about wildfire hazard across the geographic area. Such information supports wildfires, regional fuel management planning decisions, and revisions to land and resource management plans. The R4 analysis considers: likelihood of a fire burning, the intensity of a fire if […]
At the request of the United States Forest Service Pacific Northwest Regional Office, Pyrologix1 assessed the exposure to wildfire of housing units within named human communities across the Pacific Northwest Region (Oregon and Washington). The purpose of the assessment was to identify the communities most threatened by wildfire. The fifty most-threatened communities in each state […]

At the request of the United States Forest Service Pacific Northwest Regional Office, Pyrologix assessed the exposure of housing units to wildfire in Oregon and Washington. There are two approaches to such an assessment. The first—called an in situ analysis—rates the exposure of housing units where they exist on the landscape. The second approach rates […]

Following a severe bark beetle outbreak, the TEAMS Enterprise unit conducted a “Rapid Assessment of Management Opportunities” for the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest (BDNF). As part of that assessment, TEAMS partnered with Pyrologix to conduct a multi-resource wildfire risk assessment. For this project, we adapted a quantitative risk assessment approach developed for national application to meet […]

Over the last few years, Pyrologix has focused its work on applying fire science to find solutions to real land management problems. The management applications themselves are often worthy of sharing with a larger audience. On a number of its U.S. Forest Service projects, Pyrologix has worked with colleagues at the Rocky Mountain Research Station […]
When most people hear the words “Grand Teton”, they conjure an image of impossibly steep mountains of rock and ice. We’re not most people. We see the Tetons and think about wildfire—how it affects the resources and assets on the landscape. In 2011, Pyrologix partnered with the TEAMS Enterprise Unit of the U.S. Forest Service […]
