The Wildland Fire Assessment Tool (WFAT) is a custom ArcMap toolbar that provides an interface between ArcGIS desktop software, FlamMap3 algorithms (Finney 2006) and First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) algorithms (Reinhardt 2003) to produce predicted fire behavior and fire effects map layers. WFAT is the successor to FBAT (Hamilton and others 2007) and FOFEMMT (Hamilton and others 2009) and incorporates the functionality of both tools into one convenient software application. It also provides a landscape file (.lcp) generator and an import tool to convert FARSITE and FlamMap ASCII Grids into ESRI Grid format for use on the ArcGIS platform. These outputs can be used to create additional predicted fire effects map layers.
