Williams Fire Laboratory

This channel is dedicated to the education for the general public of wildland fire and the use of prescribed fire in land management. The Williams Fire Lab studies the effects of fire in forest and prairie ecosystems and works on understanding the behavior of wildfire in eastern U.S. ecosystems. We work on the development of fire behavior models that are suited for eastern ecosystems as fire behaves differently in these ecosystems than what we see in western U.S. ecosystems. The Williams Fire Lab at The Ohio State University supports graduate and undergraduate research in the areas of fire effects and fire behavior.
