  There are eight maps available for the WILDFIRE simulation. They are designed to present a
broad spectrum of different wildland/urban interface situations. 

Oakwood Manor (classic.wfm) is an example of a classic interface situation. Hydrants are
available in the urban area and a pond is located in the wildland area.(WF,WFP)

Bald Hill Road (exercis2.wfm) is a representation of Exercise 2 in the NWCG S-205 "Fire
Operations in the Urban Interface" course.(WFP ONLY)

Good Guys-Bad Guys (goodbad.wfm) shows examples of good clearance of vegetation around
structures and poor to nil vegetation clearance. Note that no hydrants or water bodies are
available on this map so water is limited to the engine & water tender.(WFP ONLY)

Fire Island (island.wfm) shows a large mansion on an island in the middle of a lake. Fire can
cross the narrow channel in high wind situations.(WFP ONLY)

Lakewood Acres (mixed.wfm) is an example of a mixed interface situation. Hydrants and water
bodies are available.(SW,WF,WFP)

Central Park (occluded.wfm) is an example of an occluded interface. Hydrants and water bodies
are available.(WFP ONLY)

Seaside Estates (seaside.wfm) is another example of a mixed interface. No hydrants available
but plenty of water.(WF,WFP)

Upin Arms Apts (upinarms.wfm) is a large apartment complex. Hydrants and water bodies are
available.(WFP ONLY)
