STFB - What it means (interpretation)

WFDSS Short-Term Fire Behavior (STFB) output results are fairly straightforward to interpret.  In the following image can be seen a STFB analysis with both Arrival Time and Major Paths displayed.  The legend provides the inputs used for the analysis and describes the hours used for the Arrival Time output.  In this example, we can see the legend displays the date and hours for the Arrival Time, as well as the Short-Term Fire Behavior Analysis Information.  The dark red lines depict the simulated fire's Major Paths.
