Large suppression programs have been organized in an effort to avoid the potentially large damages from wildfires. To help determine the efficient sizes and usage of these programs, simulation models have been developed. Recent widespread implementation of one such model -- Fireplan -- has established simulation as a major fire management planning tool. Experience suggests that the limitations of simulation models are not well understood. Better use of simulators can be achieved once these limitations are recognized.
