Versions

The current version of WRF-Fire is based on WRF 3.1. WRF included a version of WRF-Fire quietly since WRF 3.1.1 in Summer 2009. The official, supported release of WRF-Fire with WRF is planned with WRF 3.2 in late March 2010.

To get the latest version directly from the development repository, see How to run WRF-Fire. This version also contains a number of additional tools.
