ArcFuels

ArcFuels automates data manipulation in the SPOTS process by linking FVS-FFE, SVS, FARSITE, FlamMap, Nexus within ArcMap. The ArcFuels macros also link the fire and fuel models to desktop databases and spreadsheet software. ArcFuels expedites the application of fuel and fire behavior models for wildfire analysis and landscape planning of fuel treatments.
