LANDFIRE 2022 Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) AK

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

The LANDFIRE (LF) Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) product depicts fuel types as an identifiable association of fuel elements of distinctive species, form, size, arrangement, and continuity. CFFDRS exhibits characteristic fire behavior under the specified burn conditions. In LF 2022 Canadian fuel models are derived from the Fuel Model Guide to Alaska Vegetation (Alaska Fuel Model Guide Task Group, 2018) and subsequent updates. The LF CFFDRS product contains the fuel models used for the Fire Behavior Prediction (FBP) system fuel type inputs. Default values assigned to the Canadian Fuel Models required to run the Prometheus fire behavior software (Prometheus, 2021) are added as attributes to the LF CFFDRS product. To designate disturbed areas where CFFDRS is modified, the aggregated Annual Disturbance products from 2013 to 2022 in the Fuel Disturbance layer are used. All existing disturbances between 2013-2022 are represented in LF 2022 and the products are intended to be used in 2023, the year of release. The "capable" year terminology used in LF 2020 and LF 2016 Remap is no longer specified given the reduction in latency from when a disturbance occurs to the release date of fuel layers accounting for that disturbance. However, users should still consider adjusting fuel layers for disturbances that occurred after the end of the 2022 fiscal year (after October 1st, 2022) when using the LF 2022 fuel layers, as those changes would not be accounted for.
