Survey of Forest Fire Simulation

Fire modeling is used to understand and to predict possible fire behavior without getting burned. Fire models are used in different aspect of fire management. The increase in the number of forest fires in the last few years has forced governments to take precautions. Beside prevention, early intervention is also very important in fire fighting. If the fire fighters know where the fire will be in sometimes it would be easier for them to stop the fire. Therefore a big need for simulating the fire behavior exists. In this paper we present the survey of various forest fire simulations. The main goal is to determine how forest fires develop in different manners under specific conditions.
