FORFIS: A forest fire firefighting simulation tool for education and research
Abstract
We present a forest fire firefighting simulation tool named FORFIS that is implemented in Python. Unlike other existing software, we focus on a user-friendly software interface with an easy-to-modify software engine. Our tool is published under GNU GPLv3 license and comes with a GUI as well as additional output functionality. The used wildfire model is based on the well-established approach by cellular automata in two variants - a rectangular and a hexagonal cell decomposition of the wildfire area. The model takes wind into account. In addition, our tool allows the user to easily include a customized firefighting strategy for the firefighting agents.
