Description: This spatial dataset was produced with the Wildfire Exposure Simulation Tool (WildEST), a cloud-based geospatial fire behavior characteristic simulation system. WildEST performs multiple deterministic simulations under a range of weather types (wind speed, wind direction, fuel moisture content) and weights those results based on weather type probabilities (WTP).This fire type probability (FTP) dataset represents the probability that a given pixel in the fuelscape will experience at least mid-grade passive crown fire. It is the sum of the ftp_passive_mid, ftp_passive_high, and ftp_active rasters. Probability is calculated using heading-only fire behavior and is weighted according to WTP, incorporating both temporal frequencies and the influence of high-spread conditions.
