Fire Management Today magazine's annual photo contest

  Burning Questions:  In July 2000, the national Wildfire Coordinating Group commissioned an interagency research plan for understanding the human dimensions of federal wildland fire management.  The resulting report is Burning Questions: A Social Science Research Plan for Federal Wildland Fire Management.

Burning Questions describes the applicability of social science to wildland fire management problems, articulates high-priority needs for social science research, and organizes a research agenda that the NWCG advocates.  This report will become the foundation for NWCG's participation in the further development of a strong social science base to federal wildland fire management.
