Wildfire activity around the world has been increasing for the past several decades. This has led to increased frequency of wildfires and longer fire seasons. When a fire is detected, one of the most important considerations is where to allocate limited firefighting resources to best contain the fire and protect infrastructure and urban areas. This is where robust, high-resolution fire simulations can play a critical role. Many software applications currently exist that predict the propagation of wildfires, each using a variety of input data and techniques. In this case study, we examine and implement a discrete probabilistic fire model developed and validated for the 2012 Tavira wildfire in Portugal. We then simulate a hypothetical fire in western Wyoming, USA, analyze the probable burn scar, and determine where firefighting resources are best allocated.

离散野火模拟案例研究

过去几十年来，世界各地的野火活动不断增加。这导致野火发生频率增加和火灾季节更长。当检测到火灾时，最重要的考虑因素之一是在哪里分配有限的消防资源，以最好地控制火灾并保护基础设施和城市地区。这就是强大的高分辨率火灾模拟可以发挥关键作用的地方。目前存在许多预测野火蔓延的软件应用程序，每个应用程序都使用各种输入数据和技术。在本案例研究中，我们检查并实施了为 2012 年葡萄牙塔维拉野火开发和验证的离散概率火灾模型。然后，我们模拟美国怀俄明州西部的一场假设火灾，分析可能的烧伤疤痕，并确定消防资源的最佳分配位置。
