The tool uses eight spatial input data layers to represent biophysical conditions and weather parameters to simulate wind and fuel moisture conditions. The spatial input layers were created by Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Project (LANDFIRE) and include elevation, slope, aspect, canopy closure, fuel model 40 (using 40 fuel models described by Scott and Burgan, 2005), canopy base height, and canopy bulk density. The weather parameters were collected from the RAWS weather stations in New Mexico. Rate of Spread was modeled by individual fire zones, created by the Southwest Coordination Center (SWCC). The weather data for the northern and western fire zones (101, 102, 103, 109, 110, and 113) represents the average early summer (May and June) conditions; the weather data for the eastern fire zones (104, 108, 114, 115) represents the average early spring (March and April ) conditions; and the weather data for the southern and central fire zones (105, 106, 107, 111, 112) represents the average spring (April and May) conditions. Rate of spread is the horizontal distance that the flame zone moves per unit of time (ft/min) and is influenced strongly by type of fuels, wind, and topography of an area. Rate of spread is important in indicating how fast a fire will travel and reach a point of concern, and impacts the type and number of suppression resources needed to contain a fire.

In general the results were considered higher than expected.

The Rate of spread results were reclassified into three groups low (1 = <5.5ft/min), medium (3 = 5.5 to 55 ft/min), and high (5 = > 55 ft/min). The reclassed and original data were combined.
