Modeling A Forest Fire: Fighting It
And Its Effects
Results

Using the program, I would have been able to determine the best of the fighting tactics in different situations. Every situation has a fighting method that is better fitted for it. By knowing this, the model of the fire and the recommendations to the user regarding fighting tactics would have been more accurate and complete.

The program would also show if the correct equations were in place, that it the course of a fire is somewhat predictable. It is known that fires do follow some sort of pattern, but to put it all together into a model that can actually show the progress of the fire is a large advancement. This would be a great advancement because if a perfect model was ever achieved, it would be possible to completely overpower this force of nature.

Some of the other results that might be generated from the program would relate to the effect of certain factors onto the big picture. Using this and comparing it to real data from fires that have really taken place, it would be possible to better perfect the equations already in place and further slim the margin of error.
