Burn-P3
Burn-P3 (probability, prediction, and planning) is a spatial fire simulation model that is used for land-management planning and wildland fire research. It uses the Prometheus fire-growth engine to simulate the ignition and spread of a very large number of fires. The inputs to Burn-P3 consist of fuels (e.g., vegetation), topography, weather, and patterns of fire ignitions. Its main output is a surface of fire probabilities, or burn probability map.

BURN-P3
BurnP3+ SyncroSim Package
BurnP3+ is an open-source SyncroSim base package for running spatially-explicit fire growth models to explore fire risk and susceptibility across a landscape. BurnP3+ is funded, developed and maintained by the Canadian Forest Service.
​
System Requirements
The BurnP3+ SyncroSim Package requires the SyncroSim software, version 2.4.5 or higher.
If using the Cell2Fire fire growth model, you will also need to install the BurnP3+Cell2Fire add-on package.
If using the Prometheus fire growth model, you will need to install both Prometheus (version 2021.12.03) and the BurnP3+Prometheus add-on package.
