Phoenix Rapidfire model is shown in Figure 2.19 below. Figure 2.19 Phoenix Rapidfire modeling 40 Figure 2.19 is a Phoenix Rapidfire model that was produced during the public hearings which shows both the predicted fire behaviour (in orange, yellow and red) as well as the actual extent of the Driffield fire (in brown) on 9 February 2014. To develop the Phoenix Rapidfire models, information and assumptions about fire behaviour are entered into the software program. Relevant information and assumptions include the point of origin of the fire, the time of ignition, weather predictions (expected temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover and atmospheric conditions) and the vegetation in the landscape that may fuel the fire.
