Description

Wildland fire weather observation calculation and archiving tool.

*** The new version of the Fire Weather Calculator includes ANONYMOUS sharing of weather observations with researchers at the University of Montana. The anonymous observations will be used to support research in weather prediction, analysis, and content display. Data shared with UM will only contain data fields from the app (photos are excluded) and a device ID (to differentiate between users). No personal information is shared. We ask that you "opt-in" to anonymous sharing in order to support these research projects. Anonymous sharing can be changed any time in the "Settings" page of the app. Thank you! ***


This application allows quick calculation of RH, Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM), and Probability of Ignition (PIG) based on standard fire line weather observations.

The app also provides means of archiving AND sharing those observations through other core Android functionality such as email, Dropbox, and Google Drive.

Partial form submissions are allowed (and can be archived and shared), but entire form must be filled in to calculate FDFM and PIG.

Bulk submission of multiple observations are now done on first page of app.

This is a beta release. Please forward questions to email listed below.

Developed by The National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis, College of Forestry and Conservation, University of Montana.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
