Fire Simulator

High performance Rothermel fire simulator using Cadmium and GDAL

Features

• Simulation parameters automatically fetched from public datasets
• Cell-DEVS simulation of Rothermel surface spread using the Behave model
• Low memory footprint (~22km area at 100m resolution never exceeded 1 GB)

Datasets

• LANDFIRE (fuel model, elevation, slope, aspect, canopy cover, canopy height)
• NRCan (fuel model)
• ESA WorldCover (fuel model)
• OpenTopography (elevation, slope, aspect)
• FIRMS (reference)
• EONET (reference)
