Canadian Forest Fire Emissions Prediction System The Canadian Forest Fire Emissions Prediction System (CFFEPS) will be a new module compatible with the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System used to predict smoke plume dynamics and emissions.

BlueSky Canada In 2013, funding from the Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP) provided an opportunity to develop a national system. The intended output will be the creation of national smoke forecast products and tools useful for providing information to the public. 27
