which they were derived. For simulation purposes, semi-empirical and empirical
models - such as the Vakalis model - are most appropriate (Johnston, Milne, &
Klemitz, 2005). With additional data from other locales and customizable input, the
Vakalis model seems like a reliable option for identifying potential fire behavior.
