To make sound firefighting and forest management decisions, forest land managers need timely and accurate forest fire information.
The Spatial Fire Management System (sFMS), developed by Natural Resources Canada’s Canadian Forest Service, is a program that integrates fire science models into a geographic information system environment.
It is ideally suited to deal with a range of fire management needs, having been developed for Canada, which has 10% of the world’s forests and annually experiences an average of 9,500 wildland fires that burn more than 3 million hectares of forest.

i'll have to do some checking..
