Welcome to the Inferno text only version. This version of the site does have pictures, but it is meant for browsers not capable of viewing the multimedia version. Relevant links (with the exception of the home page) for every page can be found on the upper left hand side, and interactive links can be found on the lower left hand side.

Features of the Site:
  • Home: in this section, resources for this page are located; the frequently asked questions (FAQs), the glossary, our sources, the site map, privacy policy, and information about this site are located here.
  • Historical Fires: This section contains information on the biggest fires that have occured in the last 130 years of the United States. This section also includes the fire news page and an extensive section on the fires of 2000 (not only the fires, but statistics, pictures, stories, articles, and effects).
  • Fighting Fires: The United States Forest Service has been fighting fires for over 85 years, and they've learned a lot of information about our forest since. Information about firefighting strategy, firefighters and machines are included in this section.
  • Preventing Fires: This is a very hot topic, as many people have different opinions. Inferno covers all of the topics including fuel management, fire suppression, and forest management.
  • Community: This feature, tightly integrated with the interactive section, features input from the community, including interviews, stories/articles, and people from the community. You can not only read the interviews, but listen to them, and see them.
  • Interactive: In this section, you can provide your input to this site. You can discuss topics on the message board, view some of the pictures from our picture gallery, submit your own wildfire pictures, or even add your own stories/articles. The iLessons section, integrated with the message board, features lesson plans that are already prepared for teachers, and the option for teachers to add their own lesson plans, and have the students post their work to the site.
