This recently developed set of standard fire behavior fuel models contains more fuel models in every fuel type (grass, shrub, timber, slash) than does Anderson's set of 13 fuel models. The main objective in creating these new models was to increase the ability to illustrate the effects of fuel treatments using fire behavior modeling. The number of fuel models for use in areas where fire tends to burn well at relatively high dead fuel moisture content has been increased, and fuel models with an herbaceous component are now dynamic fuel models, meaning that load is dynamically shifted between live and dead (to simulate curing of the herbaceous component) rather than assumed to be constant.
