Description
This map demonstrates a deterministic fire growth simulation model using Prometheus. It uses spatial fire behaviour input data on topography (slope, aspect and elevation), Canadian Forest Fire Behavior System (FBP) fuel types, along with weather stream and FBP fuel type lookup table files. The interval scenes show planimetric and perspective views of the potential fire growth.
