It is with sadness we note the 2017 passing of Craig Clayton Chandler (C 3) after 91 years of eventful life. Craig was an influential figure in the evolution of forest fire research in the United States, beginning with post-World War II (WWII) large scale field experiments, through the early employment of computer-based fire information and management systems. Craig was instrumental in assuring that those systems were nationally consistent and fully interagency in performance. He was a founding member of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), which was chartered in 1976 to 'ycoordinate programs of the participating agencies so as to y provide a formalised system to agree upon standards of training, equipment, aircraft, suppression priorities, and other operational areas.
