Tom Moore, AQ Program Manager - Attached is the presentation I gave, a number of the slides have notes below, that I emphasized during the talk.

• WRAP Fire Emissions Tracking System (FETS) http://www.wrapfets.org/ - basis of the 2 Joint Fire Sciences Program projects we are working on, which are:

• DEASCO3 http://www.wrapfets.org/deasco3.cfm - started Winter 2011-12 and completes June 2013, and

• PMDETAIL http://www.wrapfets.org/pmdetail.cfm - started Winter 2012-13 and to complete Spring 2016

OnLine Tool will be developed through both projects.
