The best source for information on non-commercial wildland fire software is the BLM National Applied Resource Sciences Center. They maintain a site with a listing of over 160 software titles. Instead of reinventing the wheel at this site, please go to http://www-a.blm.gov/narsc/wildfire/intro.html. Software can't be downloaded there, so either use the contact information or do an AltaVista search for the files.

The US Forest Service also has a Wildland Management Tools page with a variety of internally developed utilities.
