FLogA (Fire Logic Animation) is a set of methods and an interactive, Web-based, user-friendly software
tool which allows the user to draw a forest area on the map anywhere in Europe, insert fire ignition
points, generate on the fly all input data layers required for a wildfire simulation, and then simulate and
animate the behavior of the evolving fireline under different weather conditions. FLogA utilizes only
publicly available non-proprietary data, software libraries and Web services. It adopts a distributed, open,
service oriented architecture that is easy to maintain and extend. Wind, as the most dynamic parameter
affecting a wildfire’s behavior, can be sampled around a reference direction and speed value reported by
the closest METAR station, to generate multiple simulation scenarios. FLogA generates informative
interactive geo-animations of simulation results with color representing a fire property of interest, such
as the flame length or the forest cells burn probability, while the terrain of the forest in the background
may be colored according to a characteristic of the forest (e.g. elevation, land cover, etc). Geo-animations
allow the user to “fly-over” any part of the affected terrain as the fire is progressing. In addition, FLogA
offers drawing tools for editing the forest’s spatial properties (e.g. change fuels, define cleanings zones
etc.) to generate alternative “what-if” simulation scenarios. Furthermore, it can be set to automatically
monitor any European forest area and trigger fire simulations as soon as “hotspots” are posted on the
Internet by satellite services.
