Selecting Analysis Shapefiles (STFB, NTFB, FSPro)

Fire Behavior Specialists must select one Ignition File and optionally one Barrier File for processing in an STFB, NTFB, or FSPro fire behavior analysis. Select the Ignition File and/or Barrier File from either the:

• Model Information Menu Option, or the
• Analysis Map Menu Option.

All Analysis Shape Files drawn or uploaded for an incident are available to choose from and selections can be modified until you initiate a run. Landscape Masks are another type of Analysis Shape File, but these shapes can only be applied using the Landscape Editor.

NOTE: For each fire behavior analysis, you can select only one Ignition File and/or one Barrier File. For example, when you select the Ignition File and/or Barrier File from the Model Information Menu Option and then select another Ignition File and/or Barrier File from the Analysis Map for the same fire behavior analysis, the file(s) selected in the Analysis Map will override selections made in the Model Information Menu Option. These options provide flexibility for analysts to develop a workflow that works best for them when developing an analysis.
