GIS data is read in native ArcGIS format and processed with minimal interaction by the end user. There is no requirement for a detailed knowledge of GIS formats or unnecessary data conversion.

Wildfire Analyst™ is designed to be used with a laptop or tablet pc in the incident command center or directly on scene, providing results in both ArcMap and in Google Earth's 3D viewing environment within 120 seconds from the simulation start. WFA is a powerful tool in the arsenal of the on-site user, providing updated simulations quickly, non-stop as required.
