Arguments

fb_class

Fuel break class; string class1 = Managed fuel, class2 = Protective break only, class3 = high FFDI

vegetation_community

Vegetation community from the Vegetation_Community field of fuel load data frame

slope_type

Position of property; string upslope, downslope or none

effective_slope

Slope in degrees

max_fire_run_distance

Maximum fire run distance in metres

datdf

Data frame with Vegetation_Community, SFFL (surface) and OFFL (overall) fine fuel loads, understory height in HGT, and Vegetation_Category ("Forest, Rainforest and Woodland", "Shrub, Scrub and Heath","Grassland" or "Tussock Moorland") to select fire model

id

Point ID number

dist

Distance field, unsure purpose

var_FFDI

Defined FFDI for calculation

Value

Maximum fuel break width in m
