fire behavior simulation

Fire behavior simulation uses computer models to predict how a fire might spread, how intense it will be, and how different factors influence it. These factors include weather conditions like wind and humidity, landscape features such as terrain and vegetation, and human activities. By analyzing these elements, simulations help firefighters and planners understand potential fire progression, enabling better preparation and response strategies. This technology supports decision-making to protect lives, property, and natural resources by providing a realistic forecast of fire behavior under various scenarios.
