This latest infographic from the Canadian Conservation and Land Management (CCLM) Knowledge Network was inspired by the BurnP3+ SyncroSim Package developed and maintained by the Canadian Forest Service.  

 

BURNP3+ is a powerful fire modeling tool that helps predict wildfire risk and behavior across different landscapes, management strategies, and climate futures. 

 

It supports watershed planning, fuel treatment evaluation, forest management, land-use and development studies, climate change impact analysis, and conservation planning by showing where fire risk overlaps with critical habitat. 

 

Outputs include burn probability maps, fire behavior metrics, and simulated fire perimeters – helping land managers explore future scenarios and make informed decisions to reduce wildfire risk.
