WFDSS provides most of the inputs (including forecasted weather) for both applications. BFB calculates and maps “snapshot in time” fire behavior outputs for an entire user-defined landscape extent. STFB calculates fire spread (arrival time) results, as well as the fire’s major paths from a single ignition point. ———– Last updated on 5/18/2010 10:28:59 PM.
