Our presentation highlights an approach for analyzing the interaction between simulated daily wildfire spread events and potential operational delineation (POD) boundaries to provide opportunities for wildfire control. Using a case study on Arapaho National Forest in north-central Colorado, we unveil the insights and implications for forest management against wildfires.

Learning Objectives:

Learn an analytical approach to utilize simulated fire spread events for identifying wildfire control opportunities with potential operational delineations (PODs).
Explore the broader significance of daily fire analysis in informing forest management strategies.
