Frequently asked questions
How do I access and run the fire spread model?
You can access the Fire Spread model in two ways:
- Via the Wildfire Solution platform: Run simulations for existing fire clusters or custom shapes by selecting a cluster or uploading a valid GeoJSON file.
- Via the Wildfire Solution API: Use the API to programmatically run fire spread simulations and integrate the results into GIS tools or operational workflows.
What data is used for the fire spread simulation?
The Fire Spread model integrates multiple data sources for precise wildfire spread predictions:
- Current Fire Data: The model relies on real-time OroraTech Aggregated Active Fire data for accurate simulations.
- Elevation Data: Incorporates global elevation datasets like Copernicus DEM with 30m resolution, allowing for detailed modeling of how terrain impacts fire behavior.
- Fuel Maps: Utilizes the LandFire map for the U.S. to incorporate local and regional fuel specificities.
- Wind Data: Leverages high-resolution wind forecasts from global weather models, with an option to use WindNinja for more localized wind simulations.
Can the model be integrated with other systems or software?
Yes, our fire spread model outputs results in GeoJSON and KML formats, which are compatible with most GIS platforms like ArcGIS and QGIS. This allows for easy integration into existing workflows, making it simple to visualize and analyze fire predictions alongside other spatial data.
Is it possible to customize the simulation?
Yes, Fire Spread offers robust customization options to tailor simulations to your specific needs:
- Adjustable weather parameters: Modify wind speed, direction, and fuel moisture content up to 24 hours in advance.
- Custom weather models: Fire Spread automatically selects the highest-resolution regional wind model for your simulation. In the US, this typically defaults to the GFS HRRR model. However, you can manually switch to alternative weather models for custom regional accuracy.
- Scenario variations: Create multiple simulations for the same fire cluster, adjusting parameters to explore different outcomes.
- WindNinja integration: Include localized, high-resolution wind analysis in your simulations for more precise predictions in areas with complex terrain.
Can I export and share the Fire Spread simulation results?
Yes, the Fire Spread tool supports multiple export and sharing options for collaboration and operational efficiency:
- Data exports: Results can be exported in GeoJSON and KML formats, that are compatible with GIS and visualization platforms.
- Bulk exporting: Share multiple simulation results for a single fire cluster at once, streamlining communication and analysis.
- Shareable links: Generate links to quickly share simulation results with team members, stakeholders, or partners.
