About
A wildfire ignited by lightning occurred near Huércal de Almería, Spain. Due to shifting wind conditions, the situation escalated quickly, requiring the deployment of over 100 firefighters. The variability in wind direction and speed made incident management increasingly complex, with a high risk of rapid fire expansion. In such dynamic conditions, fire spread forecasting can provide a forward-looking view of the potential evolution of the fire. This allows emergency teams to anticipate high-risk areas and adjust their strategy accordingly. Additionally, scenario-based simulations can be used to evaluate the potential effectiveness of different containment approaches, such as firebreaks, before they are implemented on the ground. This supports more informed decision-making under time pressure.
