dc.description.abstractCell2Fire is a new cell-based wildland fire growth simulator designed to integrate data-driven landscape management planning models. The fire environment is modeled by partitioning the landscape into cells characterized by fuel, weather, moisture content, and topographic attributes. The model can use existing fire spread models such as the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction System to model fire growth. Cell2Fire is structured to facilitate its use for predicting the growth of individual fires or by embedding it in landscape management simulation models. Decision-making models such as fuel treatment/harvesting plans can be easily integrated and evaluated. It incorporates a series of out-of-the-box planning heuristics that provide benchmarks for comparison. We illustrate their use by applying and evaluating a series of harvesting plans for forest landscapes in Canada. We validated Cell2Fire by using it to predict the growth of both real and hypothetical fires, comparing our predictions with the fire scars produced by a validated fire growth simulator (Prometheus). Cell2Fire is implemented as an open- source project that exploits parallelism to efficiently support the modeling of fire growth across large spatial and temporal scales. Our experiments indicate that Cell2Fire is able to efficiently simulate wildfires (up to 30x faster) under different conditions with similar accuracy as state-of-the-art simulators (above 90% of accuracy). We demonstrate its effectiveness as part of a harvest planning optimization framework, identifying relevant metrics to capture and actions to mitigate the impact of wildfire uncertainty.
