Analysis

WFDSS provides powerful fire behavior modeling tools. These tools help you predict where the fire will go next so that you can plan your management strategy accordingly.

The more complex fire behavior modeling tools require the assistance of a Fire Behavior Specialist. However, Dispatchers, Authors, and Editors can run automated Basic Fire Behavior and Short-Term Fire Behavior on their incidents.

Unless you have filtered them out, the Analysis List page displays the status of all fire behavior analyses, these include:

- Failed (No Spread Data for Ignition): Could occur if your fuel moistures are too high.
