Based on decades of field experience, Precisely Wildfire Risk is a model to predict fire behavior. Small, distinct areas known as fire sheds represent homogeneous geographies with similar fire fuel, weather and topography. Three integrated models provide continuity across landscapes with differing composition such as primarily wooded areas, a mixture of wooded and developed land, and locations where urban and suburban development border wooded or mixed lands.
