Welcome to the Emissions and Smoke Portal

    The Smoke and Emissions Portal is the result of collaborative efforts between the National Wildfire Coordinating Group's (NWCG) Smoke Committee, The University of Idaho, and the Fire Research and Management Exchange System (FRAMES). This site is divided into three areas: Educational Resources, Smoke Management Guide, and Perceptions.
