This annual summary aims to provide a sense of context for wildfire activity on the Western US-Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) of Palau, Guam, the Northern Marianas, and Yap.

Observations and experiments on tropical grasses, including information on different grass species and on herbicide timing, application method, and ingredients.

Understanding the Grass-Fire Cycle can help to better manage grasslands and savannas, reduce the risk of wildland fire, and limit the impacts of re on our communities, watersheds, and native ecosystems.

Wildfires on Guam burn an average 3.3% of the island's area each year. That's a lot, when you consider Guam is only 210 square miles. Fire has immediate impacts on the communities, forests, and the fringing reefs of this small island.

Every wildfire incident is part of a larger pattern of wildfire occurrence and is an opportunity to gain experience and insight for wildfire management. View the 2017 Wildfire Summary for Hawaii.

A review of the major fire incidents in Hawaii for 2017. Webinar participants chime in with questions and additional information about the fires.

Learn about available map tools for assessing land cover in Hawaii and Pacific Islands.

Michelle Galimba, a Hawaii Rancher, shares her experience of the 800 acre fire on her family's land.

Learn about the major weather- and climate-related drivers of wildfire in Hawaii by watching this recorded webinar.

Despite successes with greenstrips in the continental United States, this novel approach to fuels management has not been attempted in Hawaii or the tropical Pacific. A study on Hawaii Island investigated the potential for greenstrips to reduce fire risk and promote restoration.

A look at how fuels and fire management can be complementary with ecological restoration goals.

Learn about  post-fire restoration efforts and results at the Waianae Kai - Makaha burn site on Oahu by watching a recorded webinar presented by staff from the Honolulu Board of Water Supply and UH Manoa.

Explores the driving factors of wildfire in the western Pacific, wildfire's impacts in the region, and ongoing and future fire management efforts.

This fire burned over 1,300 acres of native forest immediately adjacent to Mauna Kea State Park.  It is important because it reveals the complexity and challenges of fire response, in addition to the vulnerability valued resources on the Hawaiian landscapes
