Models

Name Description
FIRE Simulates a fire in a forest. The simulation allows to foresee the propagation and intensity of the fire. Three parameters are involved in the RS (ratio of spread): particles properties (amount of heat, minerals and density), type of fuel (includes the size of the vegetation) and values involved with the natural environment (wind speed, territory inclination and humidity).
FIRE AND RAIN In this case a rainstorm has been defined. It moves to SE, extinguishing the fire on burning cells. Negative values define the effects of the rain.
FIRE AND FIREFIGHTERS Shows the firefighters influence on a fire in the region. A negative value is still used for wet or cooling cells, a positive value for burning cells, but the way in which the water is spread has been changed.
