BurnPro3D is designed for use in fire mitigation by land managers and burn bosses to prioritize land for treatment, and plan and conduct prescribed burns. The platform is powered by the next generation WIFIRE Data and Model Commons. It provides diverse users a common ground for understanding risks and tradeoffs related to prescribed burns through detailed models of vegetation and fire behavior.

BurnPro3D uses a coupled fire/atmosphere model to capture the interaction between user-defined complex ignition patterns and environmental conditions. With support from the National Science Foundation, the BurnPro3D team is developing emerging AI techniques to transform the characterization of the fire environment, including dynamic site-specific three-dimensional fuels and winds.

Preventing wildfires in the State Responsibility Area (SRA) is a vital part of CAL FIRE’s mission. While these efforts have occurred since the early days of the Department, CAL FIRE has adapted to the evolving destructive wildfires and succeeded in significantly increasing its efforts in fire prevention. The Department's Fire Prevention Program consists of multiple activities including wildland pre-fire engineering, vegetation management, fire planning, education and law enforcement. Typical fire prevention projects include brush clearance, prescribed fire, defensible space inspections, emergency evacuation planning, fire prevention education, fire hazard severity mapping, and fire-related law enforcement activities.

CAL FIRE’s mission emphasizes the management and protection of California’s natural resources; a goal that is accomplished through ongoing assessment and study of the State's natural resources and an extensive CAL FIRE Resource Management Program. CAL FIRE oversees enforcement of California’s forest practice regulations, which guide timber harvesting on private lands. Reviews and inspections ensure protection of watershed and wildlife, as well as renewal of timber resources. Department foresters and fire personnel work closely to encourage and implement fuels management projects to reduce the threat of uncontrolled wildfires. CAL FIRE Foresters promote conservation and the importance of our trees and forests to Californians of all ages.

CAL FIRE manages 14 Demonstration State Forests that provide for commercial timber production, public recreation, and research and demonstration of good forest management practices. Additional forestry programs include urban forestry, archaeology, pest management, etc.

California Landscape Metrics (CLM) is a statewide, interagency-developed geospatial data initiative that consolidates and standardizes key landscape-scale metrics across California. The project brings together data from four former regional “Regional Resource Kits” into a unified suite of mapped data layers designed to support forest and landscape resilience. CLM was developed by a collaboration of scientists from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSW), CAL FIRE’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), the Climate and Wildfire Institute (CWI), and researchers at several universities such as University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Irvine, among others. The data layers cover a broad range of landscape attributes — from wildfire hazard and fuel loads to habitat suitability, vegetation structure, carbon storage, hydrology, and social-ecological metrics. They are intended to enable land managers, planners, and decision-makers to assess current conditions, plan treatments or restoration actions, and monitor changes over time in order to advance landscape-scale resilience to fire, climate change, and other disturbances.
