Wildfire modeling edit
The authors of this page and the references are operating in ignorance of the fact that the technical term here is Wildfire Modeling, see Wildfire modeling. I suggest this page is deleted or incorporated into the main page on Wildfire Modeling as these ideas have been discredited due to co-ordinate ghosting.

Initiation of the model edit
I have a technical question which pertains to the SOC algorithm given in the article. The zeroth order starting state is a bunch of "trees" or cells, and, then, a fire is initiated in one of them. This is not explicitly stated in the article, but it seems important to me, as it amounts to a specification of the initial conditions. My impression (I'm still learning about this), SOC models either have some initiation to get the model rolling, or, as in the SOC sandpile model, the model is continuously driven and this keeps the model rolling. Some ever so slight fixing of this issue would be appreciated. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 14:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
