A GIS-based fire spread simulator integrating a simplified physical wildland fire model and a wind field model

[EN]This article discusses the integration of two models, namely, the Physical Forest Fire Spread (PhFFS) and the High Definition Wind Model (HDWM), into a Geographical Information System-based interface. The resulting tool automates data acquisition, preprocesses spatial data, launches the aforemen...
