Driptorch Code

DripTorch is simulation tool used to generate spatiotemporal ignition patterns for prescribed fire planning and analysis. Ignition patterns are simulated within a user-provided spatial boundary. The boundary can be manipulated to account for control line and blackline operations. DripTorch offers a set of common firing techniques that determine the arrangement of igniters and their respective paths and timing. We also provide mapping utilities to help visualize the ignition patterns across space and time, and export methods to write the ignition patterns to a variety of fire model formats.
