- Abstract
- The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) in cooperation with the University of California is developing a fire planning model called the California Fire Economics Simulator (CFES). At this stage, an initial attack simulator, the California Fire Economics Simulator--Initial Attack Module (CFES-IAM) has been developed. The CFES-IAM version 1.2 is a derivation of the USDA Forest Service's Initial Attack Assessment model (IAA) and is being implemented in CDF's 23 administrative units.
