Fire behavior prediction models

Fire behavior prediction models are tools used to forecast how a wildfire will spread, based on factors like terrain, weather, and vegetation. They analyze data such as wind speed, humidity, and types of plants to estimate fire intensity, direction, and rate of spread. These models help firefighters and land managers make informed decisions about containment efforts, safety, and resource allocation. By simulating different scenarios, they improve preparedness and response, ultimately aiming to control fires more effectively and protect lives and ecosystems.
