The spread of forest fires is driven by nuanced geographic parameters, such as
We built our model based on the Alexandridis et. al. model presented in 2008. We retrieved GIS data from various sources and adapted the results for python so we could create our own simulation. We hope you can engage with our code by downloading it as instructed on the User instructions page.
