A First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) was developed to predict the direct consequences of prescribed fire and wildfire. FOFEM computes duff and woody fuel consumption, smoke production, and fire-caused tree mortality for most forest and rangeland types in the United States. The model is available as a computer program for PC or Data General computer.

FOFEM 5.2 is a simple, yet versatile computer program that predicts first order fire effects using text and graphic outputs. It can be used in a variety of situations including: determining acceptable upper and lower fuel moistures for conducting prescribed burns, determining the number of acres that may be burned on a given day without exceeding particulate emission limits; comparing predicted fuels reduction for alternative prescribed burn scenarios; and predicting the effects of wildland fire. This fact sheet describes what inputs are needed to run FOFEM, the outputs that are produced, and how to download a copy from the internet.

Thermal dynamics from the fires in this study represent a broad range of grassland fires under conditions common for prescribed fire. Soil moisture appears to significantly affect temperatures and residence times below, at, and above the soil surface. Data were compared with output from FOFEM 5.2 to access the applicability of FOFEM for use in mixed grass and tallgrass prairie. FOFEM consistently underestimated soil heating by up to 419°C.
