🔥 Wildfire Waterbombing - 2D Fire Spread Map, Elliptical Growth and Drop Footprint

2D companion of the wildfire waterbombing scene: an anisotropic fire-spread map from the minimum-travel-time method with wind and slope ellipses, plus the ballistics of a water drop (fall time, drift, coverage) used to build a wet line ahead of the fire.
