The BehavePlus fire modeling system is based on a collection of models that describe fire behavior, fire effects, and the fire environment. BehavePlus is the successor to the BEHAVE fire behavior prediction and fuel modeling system (Andrews 1986, Andrews and Chase 1989, Andrews and Bradshaw 1990, Burgan and Rothermel 1984). It is called the BehavePlus fire modeling system to reflect its expanded scope. Version 1.0 of BehavePlus was a complete redesign of BEHAVE, with the fire models being essentially the same. Version 2.0, released in July 2003, offers additional fire modeling capabilities and design features.
