The Fire Weather Intelligence Portal (FWIP) is a web-based “one stop shop” fire weather/fire danger monitoring tool that allows fire managers to assess and plan for daily burning and smoke dispersion conditions related to prescribed fire and wildfire. The FWIP was conceived by the NC State Climate Office and the NC Forest Service to show past, current, and forecast weather and fire risk information across North Carolina. With support from the Southeast Regional Climate Hub, the Portal has recently been expanded to cover 13 southern states to provide guidance for wildland fire managers across the Southeast.
