Fire Regime Condition Class (FRCC) is an interagency, standardized tool for
determining the degree of departure from reference condition vegetation, fuels and disturbance regimes.
Assessing FRCC can help guide management objectives and set priorities for treatments.
The Fire Regime Condition Class website is an interagency site designed to
provide guidance to the user on FRCC methods and software, related publications, contact information on agencies
and organizations developing FRCC, and to serve as a source
for information regarding upcoming FRCC events.
