QUIC-Fire is a new physics-based cellular automata fire spread tool that offers advanced fire modeling capabilities without the demand for extraordinary computational resources. QUIC-Fire is a new step towards expanding next generation fire model access to a wider audience of practitioners and users. Registration is required.
