FastFuels

FastFuels is a tool for providing 3D vegetative fuels data to the next generation of wildfire simulation models. With FastFuels, you can quickly generate fuels data to meet the needs of prescribed fire management, silvicultural prescription design, scenario simulation, fire effects, and fire risk assessments.
