Pyretechnics - Fire Behavior Modeling Library

Pyretechnics is a Python library (implemented in Cython for performance) that provides modules for calculating surface fire, crown fire, and spot fire behavior on a gridded landscape. It also includes an implementation of the Eulerian Level-set Method for fire spread, inspired by Chris Lautenberger's ELMFIRE fire model.
