🔥 Planning Wildfire Evacuations

A 3D wildfire evacuation model where fire-danger index, wind, road capacity, and alert lead time combine into a live risk score and evacuation clearance timeline.

Fire & Combustion3DAdvanced60 FPS🔥 Fire 💨 Air & Wind

A wildfire front advances on a small community while an alert tower, evacuation routes, and a stream of departing vehicles show how fire danger, wind, road capacity, and alert lead time combine into a single evacuation timeline.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

The fire danger index and wind speed set how fast the flame front and embers advance; open road lanes set how quickly households can leave; alert lead time is the delay eaten out of the safety margin before the siren sounds.

🎮 How to Use

Raise the danger index or wind speed to see the fire move faster, reduce open lanes to see the vehicle queue thin out, and increase alert lead time to see the evacuation clock start later relative to the fire's approach.

💡 Did You Know?

In several major wildfire evacuations, road throughput — not vehicle speed — was the binding constraint: planners now model route capacity in vehicles-per-minute-per-lane just like the estimate shown here.
