Investment Detail
It has been qualitatively estimated that NFPORS saves the Department over $5M each year in the costs associated with data calls alone. The efficiency of a single, reliable, and up-to-date source of information removes the need to involve a host of people in the data and report gathering process.
NFPORS is the Department's only accepted source of performance data for the Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Burned Area Rehabilitation programs. NFPORS is vital to planning and reporting accomplishments in these major segments of the Wildland Fire program.
NFPORS provides critical information to burn models, suppression operations, land managers, analyses of outcome from investments, and decision support.
More than 800 Department users regularly rely on NFPORS to help manage their work and report their accomplishments.
