Software for Wildland Firefighting

Emxsys is the home of the CPS Wildfire Management Tool (WMT), a software program that predicts the potential behavior of a wildland fire so that firefighting strategies can ensure the safety and effectiveness of firefighters. WMT is free!

WMT is developed by Bruce Schubert and it is based on The Campbell Prediction System by Doug Campbell. WMT merges the art of wildland firefighting and the science of fire behavior—it couples the language and logic of The Campbell Prediction System with the fire spread equations developed by Richard Rothermel.
