BehavePlus estimates various fire behavior characteristics, such as spread rate, spotting distance, and many others, from fuel and environmental parameters. The results and their dependence on parameters are organized in tables, graphs, and diagrams. The computation is done at one point, there is no spatial component. The user enters the data in screens, there are no data files. It is a successor to the BEHAVE fire behavior and fuel model system, which run on handheld calculators. BehavePlus is in operational use by the United States Forest Service.
