BSC Playground Full

Fuel Type:

BSC Playground uses the CONSUME model under the hood when modeling fuel consumption. This model only natively understands inputs in the US Forest Service's Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS). To make use of FBP Fuel Types, BSC Playground maps each fuel type to the most similar FCCS fuelbed.
