21th century: less maintenance

• f pine woods

Forest area’s are less maintained, less accessible, made attractive and exciting for public and also wildlife and ecological stimulation, heat area’s are grass covered, and dry grass burns easily

Properties of forest, heat and other natural area’s

Calculation for the spread patern

• f wildfire in time

Data

• Topographical data

and fuell models;

• Meteo:
• Temperature;
• Windspeed;
• Winddirection;
• Humidity.

• 3. Research
• Farsite (Rocky Mountain

Research Center USA);

• Translation to the Dutch

situation;

• Testing in the Safety

regions during large scaled exercises and during prescribed burnings.
